Abstract:
An interactive DSS for consensus reaching is presented. Experts provide their testimonies as fuzzy preference relations. The consensus reaching process is supervised by a moderator (super-expert). A degree of consensus, based on the concept of a fuzzy majority given as a linguistic quantifier is employed. Algorithms of cluster analysis are used to find groups of experts having similar preferences.
