Answer Sets and Qualitative Decision Making
نویسنده
چکیده
Logic programs under answer set semantics have become popular as a knowledge representation formalism in Artificial Intelligence. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using answer sets for qualitative decision making. Our approach is based on an extension of the formalism, called logic programs with ordered disjunction (LPODs). These programs contain a new connective called ordered disjunction. The new connective allows us to represent alternative, ranked options for problem solutions in the heads of rules: A B intuitively means: if possible A, but if A is not possible then at least B. The semantics of logic programs with ordered disjunction is based on a preference relation on answer sets. We show that LPODs can serve as a basis for qualitative decision making.

Qualitative Decision Making and Answer Set Programming Extended Abstract
In a recent paper [BBL02] a propositional logic called Qualitative Choice Logic ( ) was introduced. The logic contains a new connective representing ordered disjunction. Intuitively, stands for: if possible , but if is impossible then (at least) . This connective allows context dependent preferences to be represented in a simple and elegant fashion. In this paper we show how to combine ideas un...
متن کاملA Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems
Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...

Multiple attributes group decision making (MAGDM) is regarded as the process of determining the best feasible solution by a group of experts or decision makers according to the attributes that represent different effects. In assessing the performance of each alternative with respect to each attribute and the relative importance of the selected attributes, quantitative/qualitative evaluations ar...

متن کاملAn integrated multi-criteria decision-making methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets for selection among energy alternatives in Turkey
Energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. Selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. In this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. Then a roadmap has been cr...
