Decision Making Systems in Business Administration

World Scientific Proceedings Series on Computer Engineering and Information Science contains proceedings from major, peer reviewed computer science, engineering, information technology and social science conferences with up-to-date coverage of new developments, methodologies and applications of new computer information processing methods such as artificial intelligence, soft computing, computational intelligence, as complementary to traditional mathematical and statistical methods in Computer Engineering and Information Science. This book analyzes some of the most recent advances in the field of decision making and fuzzy systems applied to business and economics presented at the International Conference on Modeling and Simulation (MS'12 Rio de Janeiro), 10-13 December, 2012. In this conference, a special focus is given to the fundamental concept of sustainable development. Other key applications in business, economics and finance are also considered. In general, it is very useful for graduate students and researchers interested in pursuing research that combines quantitative techniques such as modeling and simulation and decision making with business and economic problems. This is especially useful when dealing with complex environments where the information is very uncertain and additional mathematical and statistical techniques are needed in order to understand the specific situations considered.
