Quantitative methods for ranking critical events

Abstract

A technique using the Choquet integral will be investigated that will monitor the environment by sampling current utility values of criteria and aggregate this information to provide a means to determine the most suitable surface naval asset to be re-deployed in order to accomplish an unscheduled mission. This paper will present promising initial findings which supports the claim that the Choquet integral can be used to represent expert knowledge in the situation where the criteria are dependent. The results will be applied to the ranking of destroyers for re-deployment.
