Optimization and Intelligent Decisions

Abstract

Abstract. Extension of optimization to decision-making systems is challenging topic of research. This paper surveys the special journal issue on the subject "Optimization and intelligent decisions. " Papers on intelligent decision theory as well as on decision in economic systems are presented and discussed. Information technologies for web-based intelligent systems environment, which offers generic, modular, flexible and scalable system solutions for information retrieval, extraction, fusion, knowledge discovery and intelligent decision support, might be a subject of future research extending optimization in decision-making.

The Environmental Risk Assessment for Decision Support System for Water Management in the Vicinity of Open Cast Mines (Ds Wmvoc) / Rizikos Aplinkai Vertinimas Naudojant Netoli Atvirųjų Kasyklų Esančių Vandens Išteklių Valdymo Sprendimų Paramos Sistemą

“…In other words, decision makers face the difficult problem of prediction of the pressures impact (at least with known or estimated probability) on the unpredictable groundwater system. The decision makers usually find it difficult to accept the fact that one often cannot obtain a 'one-number result' and at the same time fully eliminate environmental uncertainty but only minimise it by proper use of modelling, uncertainty and risk analysis techniques (critical comments on difficult co-operation and misunderstandings between scientists and decision makers was presented by Liu et al 2008 as well as by Sakalauskas andZavadskas 2009, andVlasenko andKozlov 2009). Consequently, the knowledge of probability or risk of environmental adversity would allow effective decisions to be taken by administrators about the optimum strategy for water resource management while also providing tools to support implementation of a number of the requirements of the Water Framework Directive.…”

In Search of Sustainable Business Models for Cognitive Radio Evolution

“…All these factors are relevant when studying Cognitive Radio as a sub-domain of radio communication systems (Kloch et al 2009: 3), as CR/SDR emerges as a new re-convergence point for wireless communications industry (McHale 2010). Moreover, the CR/SDR could also fuel the necessary optimization of modern telecommunications networks and services, as they provide the means of automation and artificial intelligence required for such tasks (Sakalauskas, Zavadskas 2009). For the existing radio telecommunications paradigm, regulations have been developed according to specific principles.…”

Influence of Lipschitz Bounds on the Speed of Global Optimization

“…Global optimization algorithm DIRECT (Jones et al 1993) was applied to find optimal parameters. Extension of optimization to decision-making systems is a challenging topic of research (Sakalauskas, Zavadskas 2009). One of the most investigated fields of global optimization is Lipschitz optimization (Strongin 1978;Strongin, Sergeyev 2000;Sergeyev, Kvasov 2008).…”
