The Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to provide more accurate decisions to the decision makers in order to evaluate the effective factors in the natural science. One of the popular algorithm of multicriteria analysis is Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA). The OWA procedure depends on some parameters, which can be 15 specified by means of f...

The definition of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators and their applications in decision making are reviewed. Also, some generalizations of OWA operators are studied and then, the notion of 2-symmetric OWA operators is introduced. These generalizations are illustrated by some examples.

The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator by Yager (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern 1988; 18; 183–190) has received much more attention since its appearance. One key point in the OWA operator is to determine its associated weights. Among numerous methods that have appeared in the literature, we notice the maximum entropy OWA (MEOWA) weights that are determined by taking into account two appealin...

In this paper we study queries over relational databases with integrity constraints (ICs). The main problem we analyze is OWA query answering, i.e., query answering over a database with ICs under open-world assumption. The kinds of ICs that we consider are inclusion dependencies and functional dependencies, in particular key dependencies; the query languages we consider are conjunctive queries ...

In this paper a class of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs is discussed. The uncertainty is modeled by specifying a discrete scenario set containing K distinct cost scenarios. The Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA for short) aggregation operator is applied to choose a solution. Some well known criteria used in decision making under uncertainty such as the maximum, minimum, ...

In this paper, we look at the classical problem of aggregating individual utilities and study social orderings which are based on the concept of Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) Aggregating Operator. In these social orderings, called OWA social welfare functions (swf), weights are assigned a priori to the positions in the social ranking and, for every possible alternative, the total welfare is ...

A necessary and sufficient condition for the ordered weighted average (OWA) aggregation value of an arbitrary aggregated set to consistently increase with the orness level is proposed. The OWA operator properties associated with the orness level are extended. Then, with the generating function representation of Regular Increasing Monotone (RIM) quantifier, all these conditions and properties ar...
