Description
Summary:Fuzzy cognitive maps have received increasing attention for the representation of causal knowledge, being especially useful in decision situations. In this paper a model for decision making based on fuzzy cognitive maps using the paradigm of computing with words in order to provide causal models that are easily understood is proposed. To this end, we propose the use of linguistic representation model based on linguistic 2-tuple, which provides results in this domain. The main advantage of the proposed decision-making based on fuzzy cognitive map model is that allows to increase the interpretability of the causal models and the results of the simulations are performed to evaluate the alternatives, and this fact useful in making decision. Finally, the paper presents an illustrative example of the model presented in the scenario analysis applied to software architecture in a business organization.
