Fuzzy structural modeling based on FISM/fuzzy

Abstract

Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) has emerged in the middle of the 80s as an identifiable research field focused on the role of computer technology in group work. CSCW examines how people work together in groups and how computer technology can support them. FISM (flexible interpretive structural modeling) developed by the author, is a method to develop structural models of complex systems. In this paper, FISM is extended to develop a new idea processing method: FISM/fuzzy. FISM/fuzzy is a fuzzy version of FISM. Some theoretical results which enable to model logically and efficiently are derived. The process of construct the structure of complex systems by FISM/fuzzy is called the FISM/fuzzy session. Outline of the FISM/fuzzy session is described and efficiency of the session is proposed. An illustrated example is shown.<>
