Advances in Fuzzy Theory and Decision-Making Theory

Dear Colleagues,

Decision-making exists in a variety of sectors (such as politics, economics, industry, medicine, finance, management, etc.) and in people's daily lives. In recent years, many scholars have been drawn to decision-making theory and methodology, resulting in the development of a series of decision-making paradigms and promising research results. In particular, with the rapid growth and broad application of high technology, such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence, the decision-making elements and environment have been altered, necessitating the study of new decision-making theories and methods.

This Special Issue is dedicated to disseminating the latest advancements in the field of decision-making and furthering the development of decision-making theory and methods. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Fuzzy decision-making (fuzzy theory);
• Multi-attribute decision-making (aggregation, measurement, and outranking);
• Group decision-making (large-scale groups and social networks);
• Consensus decision-making (cooperative and non-cooperative behaviors, dynamic consensus);
• Decision-making based on preference relations (preference theory);
• Intelligent decision-making (intelligent models and algorithms);
• Data-driven decision-making (data processing and analysis, data description, and practical method application).

I look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Dr. Honggang Peng
