Probability assessments of events are often linguistic in nature. We model them by means of possibilistic probabilities (a version of Zadeh’s fuzzy probabilities with a behavioural interpretation) with a suitable shape for practical implementation (on a computer). Employing the tools of interval analysis and the theory of imprecise probabilities we argue that the verification of coherence for t...

We consider an open shop scheduling problem. At first, a bi-objective possibilistic mixed-integer programming formulation is developed. The inherent uncertainty in processing times and due dates as fuzzy parameters, machine-dependent setup times and removal times are the special features of this model. The considered bi-objectives are to minimize the weighted mean tardiness and weighted mean co...

The modeling of complex risk situations imposes the existence of multiple ways to represent the risk and compare the risk situations between them. In probabilistic models, risk is described by random variables and risk situations are compared by stochastic dominance. In possibilistic or credibilistic models, risk is represented by fuzzy variables. This paper concerns three indicators of dominan...

In this paper, both the uncertainty and the origin of pieces of information is handled in an extended possibilistic logic framework. Each formula is associated with a set (a fuzzy set more generally) which gathers labels of sources according to which the formula is (more or less) certainly true. In case of a single source of information, possibilistic logic is recovered. Soundness and completen...

In this paper we consider the extensions of description logics that were proposed to represent uncertain or vague knowledge, focusing on the fuzzy and possibilistic formalisms. We compare these two approaches and comment on their differences concentrating on the consistency issue of knowledge bases represented in these extended frameworks. We present a classification of existing algorithms and ...

In practice, there are many problems which decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and some kind of this problems are formulated as either possibilitic programming or multi-objective programming methods. In this paper, we consider a multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy data in constraints and introduce a new approach for solving these problems base on a combination of the multi-objecti...
