With advancements of the digital technologies, it is easy, and almost instantaneous, to gather a large volume of information and\/or data pertaining to a problem that we want to solve. For instance, the world-wi- web is perhaps the primary source of information and\/or data that we often turn to when we face a decision making problem. However, the information and\/or data that we obtain from the real world often are complex, and comprise various kinds of noise. Besides, real-world information and\/or data often are incomplete and ambiguous, owing to uncertainties of the environments. All these make decision making a challenging task. To cope with the challenges of decision making, - searchers have designed and developed a variety of decision support systems to provide assistance in human decision making processes. The main aim of this book is to provide a small collection of techniques stemmed from artificial intelligence, as well as other complementary methodo- gies, that are useful for the design and development of intelligent decision support systems. Application examples of how these intelligent decision support systems can be utilized to help tackle a variety of real-world problems in different - mains, e. g. business, management, manufacturing, transportation and food ind- tries, and biomedicine, are also presented. A total of twenty chapters, which can be broadly divided into two parts, i. e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-07-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642136382\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-13639-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 532.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450620407948,"sku":"9783642136382","price":341.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642136382.jpg?v=1761052370","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642136382","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
