Fuzzy cognitive maps and their applications

Abstract

Summary form only given. Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is an interaction and inference graph representation for relationships and knowledge base, which uses fuzified system parameters and fuzzy operator-based mechanisms. FCM applications appear increasingly often to present situations and dynamical behavior of social and economic netFuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is an interaction and inference graph representation for relationships and knowledge base, which uses fuzified system parameters and fuzzy operator-based mechanisms.
