Week 3

The 3rd week has been quite intensive but productive at the same time. The main points:

• Study of the book "Fuzzy Sets and Logic - Theory and Applications" (by George J. Klir and Bo Yuan) as well as papers on Fuzzy sets, logic and applications (which will eventually be referenced in the 'Related Literature' page)
• Applications of Choquet Integral in MCDA 
• Preparation of the questionnaire scheme and the questionnaire of the AMORE project, which will be used to gather the expert knowledge on the evaluation of the Lines of Evidence through an online page

Week 1 & 2

The activities of the first two weeks at the CVR included the following main points:

• Study of the topics: general mathematics, aggregation operators, general MCDA as well as trends and applications, Weights of Evidence (WoE) and Lines of Evidence (LoE) and introduction to fuzzy logic
• Introduction to the "AMORE" project (Analyses Multi-critères pour le développement d’Outils d’aide à la décision en vue de la prévention des Risques Environnementaux)
• Preparation of an extended and detailed list of aggregation operators used in MCDA (Category-Name-Formula-Description-Notes)
• Preparation of a hierarchical list (tree-form) of criteria used in the AMORE project WoE
• Extended research of scientific papers and books on: Aggregation functions/operators, Fuzzy logic, Multi Attribute Value/Utility Theory (MAVT/MAUT), Group Decision Theory, Probabilities, Sensitivity Analysis, MultiCriteria Decision Aid/Analysis

Related literature can be found on the respective section of the blog.

Welcome

Dear visitor,

I would like to welcome you to this new blog which will be dedicated to my PhD program on MCDA and Environmental Sciences at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

The content will include various updates on the related topics, throughout the period 2011-2014, such as:
- Scientific articles and Books read
- Related Literature (Either interesting or to be read)
- Weekly updates
- Intermediate results
- Interesting links and anything else that might pop up on the way.

Wish you a nice time browsing the content!
