A multiattribute decision making approach using intuitionistic fuzzy sets (2009)
The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is the generalization of the concept of fuzzy sets. The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is well suited to dealing with vagueness. Recently, intuitionistic...
Abstract Intelligent Decision System for Supplier Assessment (2009)
Supplier assessment has become increasingly important to a business and getting a right supplier can bring real competitive advantages, whilst failure in supplier selection can lead to significant...

Kwai-sang Chin, Jian-bo Yang, Min Guo, For Peer Review
decision support systems (GDSS)
Jun Liu, Jian-bo Yang, Jin Wang, How-sing Sii
This paper illustrates a subjective safety-cost based design-decision support framework using fuzzy logic and evidential reasoning approaches. The framework is divided into three parts. The first one...
Self-tuning of fuzzy belief rule bases for engineering system safety analysis (2008)
Liu, Jun, Yang, Jian-Bo, Ruan, Da, Martinez, Luis, Wang, Jin
A framework for modelling the safety of an engineering system using a fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach has been recently proposed, where a fuzzy rule-base designed on the basis...
Dealing with heterogeneous information in engineering evaluation processes (2007)
Martinez, Luis, Liu, Jun, Ruan, Da, Yang, Jian-Bo
Before selecting a design for a large engineering system several design proposals are evaluated studying different key aspects. In such a design assessment process, different criteria need to be...
Application of intelligent decision system to nuclear waste depository option analysis (2006)
XU, DONG-LING, YANG , JIAN-BO, Carlé, Benny, Hardeman, Frank, Ruan, Da
This paper describes how the Evidential Reasoning approach for multi-criteria decision analysis, with the support of its software implementation, Intelligent Decision System (IDS), can be used to...
A generic rule-base inference methodology using the evidential reasoning approach (2006)
Jian-bo Yang, Jun Liu, Jin Wang, How-sing Sii, Hong-wei Wang, Associate Member
Abstract—In this paper, a generic rule-base inference methodology using the evidential reasoning (RIMER) approach is proposed. Existing knowledge-base structures are first examined, and knowledge...
Cost Estimations for Large Scale Engineering Projects under Uncertainties (2005)
Ruan, Da, Maes, Dirk, Aït Abderrahim, Hamid, Liu, Jun, Xu, Ling, Yang, Jian-Bo
Cost estimation for large projects can be difficult because of many complex factors and uncertainties involved. It is often the case that only very rough guesses of actual costs may be provided. In...
Self-tuning fuzzy rule bases with Belief structure (2005)
Ruan, Da, Liu, Jun, Yang, Jian-Bo, Martinez, Luis
A fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach has been proposed recently, where a fuzzy rule-base designed on the basis of a belief structure (called a belief rule base) forms a basis in...
Dong-ling Xu, Grace Mccarthy, Jian-bo Yang
In this paper, it is described how a multiple criteria decision analysis software tool, the Intelligent Decision System (IDS), can be used to help business self-assessment. Following a brief outline...
Integrating DEA-oriented performance assessment and target setting using interactive MOLP methods
Yang, Jian-Bo, Wong, Brandon Y.H., Xu, Dong-Ling, Stewart, Theodor J.
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) are tools that can be used in management control and planning. Whilst these two types of model are similar in...
