Abstract:

Companies deal with many decision-making processes whose impact on the global performance can be very strong. As a consequence, the role of the decision support systems (DSSs) within the organization is critical. Considering the imprecise or fuzzy nature of the data in real-world problems, it becomes obvious that the ability to manage uncertainty turns out to be a crucial issue for a DSS. In this framework, this paper discusses the key role of fuzzy logic (FL) in the DSSs, presents new applications of FL in DSSs in various sectors and identifies new challenges and new directions for further research.

Keywords:

Decision-support systems, Fuzzy logics, Uncertainty
