Optimization and intelligent decisions

Abstract

Extension of optimization to decision-making systems is challenging topic of research. This paper surveys the special journal issue on the subject “Optimization and intelligent decisions.” Papers on intelligent decision theory as well as on decision in economic systems are presented and discussed. Information technologies for web-based intelligent systems environment, which offers generic, modular, flexible and scalable system solutions for information retrieval, extraction, fusion, knowledge discovery and intelligent decision support, might be a subject of future research extending optimization in decision-making.
