The aggregation of fuzzy information is a key process MCDM methods used to deal with uncertainties. A class for distance operators in which values are argument variables. This permits us consider an ideal alternative the process. But these fall dealing situations among cannot be aggregated directly. Therefore, we proposed some induced order-inducing variables so that can also but take other par...

Information infrastructures become increasingly decentralized. In these environments, coming up with coherent collective decision systems is difficult, especially in environments where central “authorities” are lacking. In this paper, we explore the idea of using artifacts called Blackboards for Decision Tables to support collaborative and incremental evolution of a network of Semantic Decision...

IPOs affiliated to business groups represent a large fraction of new issues in global markets. Groups are characterized by stronger private benefits control and an internal funding advantage. Consistent with these features, group firms more selective when going public than standalone firms. In particular, larger older engage less market timing IPOs. Group invest profitable post IPO. Private als...

Semantic Decision Table (SDT) was introduced to support collaborative decision making. Semantics, a group of decision makers, mutual understanding and collaborative environment(s) are at the heart of SDT. In practice, it is rather difficult to construct SDT within a decision group. We try to tackle this problem by modeling SDT within the context of information system, which is based on McGrath’...
