Web Intelligence: Web-Based BISC Decision Support System (WBISC-DSS)

Most of the existing search systems (software) are modeled using crisp logic and queries. In this chapter, we introduce fuzzy querying and ranking as a flexible tool allowing approximation where the selected objects do not need to exactly match the decision criteria resembling natural human behavior. The model consists of five major modules: the Fuzzy Search Engine, Application Templates, the User Interface, the Database, and Evolutionary Computing. The system is designed in a generic form to accommodate more diverse applications and to be delivered as stand-alone software to academia and bus inesses.
