Recent Developments in the Ordered Weighted Averaging Operators: Theory and Practice edited by Ronald R. Yager, Janusz Kacprzyk, Gleb Beliakov.

This volume presents the state of the art of new developments, and some interesting and relevant applications of the OWA (ordered weighted averaging) operators. The OWA operators were introduced in the early 1980s by Ronald R. Yager as a conceptually and numerically simple, easily implementable, yet...
