Linguistic Decision Making: Theory and Methods, is the first monograph which mainly deals with an interdisciplinary subject of computing with words,information fusion and decision analysis. It provides a thorough and systematic introduction to the linguistic aggregation operators, linguistic preference relations,and various models for and approaches to multi-attribute decision making with linguistic information. It also offers various practical examples with tables and figures to illustrate the theory and methods discussed. Researchers and professionals engaged in the relevant fields will find it an useful reference book.
