In this research, we consider decision trees that incorporate standard queries with one feature per query as well as hypotheses consisting of all features’ values. These decision trees are used to represent knowledge and are comparable to those...
Knowledge comes in various forms: scientific, artistic, legal, and many others. For most non-computer scientists, it is far easier to express their knowledge in text than in programming code. The dynamic decision tree system is a system for supportin...
A conflict is a situation where multiple stakeholders have different evaluations over possible scenarios or states. Conflict analysis is an essential tool for understanding and resolving complex conflicts, especially in scenarios involving multiple s...

In recent years, research on applications of three-way decision (e.g., TWD) has attracted the attention of many scholars. In this paper, we combine TWD with multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). First, we utilize the essential idea of TOPSIS in MAD...
Go/no-go execution decisions are one of the most important strategic decisions for owners during the early stages of construction projects. Restructuring the process of decision-making during these early stages may have sustainable results in the lon...

When high-grade gliomas recur, patients, their families, and clinicians face difficult medical decisions. There is no curable treatment, and the treatment options all come with a risk of complications and adverse effects. The patients are often cogni...
Focusing on ill-structured multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems, including decision hesitancy and attribute prioritization relationships, this paper investigates appropriate approaches for decision making. Firstly, we introduce the prob...
Construction activity with a huge variety of structures, forms and conditions underlying the implementation of construction projects, require special management approach. Decisions are most often made at the planning and preparation stage of a constr...
Maintenance decision-making is essential to achieve safe and reliable operation with high performance for equipment. To avoid unexpected shutdown and increase machine life as well as system efficiency, it is fundamental to design an effective mainten...
In this paper, in order to enhance the autonomous operation capabilities of aircraft and ensure their operational safety and efficiency, we propose an autonomous decision-making framework based on target motion state prediction combined with the Mark...
In a world faced with technological, health and environmental change and uncertainty, decision-making is challenging. In addition, decision-making itself is becoming a collaborative activity between people and artificial intelligence. This paper anal...
Intertemporal decision making is the process by which individuals make judgments or choices regarding outcomes that occur at different times. Although intertemporal decision making is widely investigated, most studies explore it in terms of individua...
This paper develops an algorithm for solving the generalized Nash equilibrium problem (GNEP) in non-cooperative games. The problem involves a set of players, each with a cost function that depends on their own decision as well as the decisions of oth...
