CWDM 2013 - Special Session on Computing with words in decision making: Foundations, models and applications

In many real decision situations defined under uncertain environments, with imprecise information, is straightforward the use of linguistic information due to the nature of different aspects of the decision problems. Computing with Words (CW) is a methodology that deals with words or sentences defined in a natural or artificial language instead of numbers, it emulates human cognitive processes to improve solving processes of problems dealing with uncertainty.

Consequently, CW has been applied as computational basis to linguistic decision making, because it provides tools close to human beings reasoning processes related to decision making, which improve the resolution of decision making under uncertainty as linguistic decision making. Both Decision Making and Computing with Words have recently attracted much attention in which, novel mathematical foundations and new decision models raised to be applied in different decision fields such as multi‐criteria decision making, decision analysis, evaluation processes, etc.
