Abstract. The challenging problem of modeling and controlling complex systems is investigated using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). A mathematical description of FCM models is presented, new construction methods and an algorithm are developed and extensively examined. The issue of modeling the supervisor of large complex systems is addressed and is modeled using a FCM. A manufacturing example is used to prove the usefulness of the proposed method. The problem of Decision Making process in Decision Analysis is considered and analyzed using FCM models. A successful application of FCM theory in a health problem is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
