metadata.dc.contributor.other: | Ανδρέου, Ανδρέας Σ. | Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Fuzzy cognitive maps;FCM modeling | Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Handbook of Research on Advanced ICT Integration for Governance and Policy Modeling, 2014, pp. 129-148 | Abstract: | Fuzzy cognitive maps are a qualitative modeling technique that uses expert knowledge to attempt to represent the interactions between problem-specific factors aiming to simulate how these interactions alter the factors and drive the current state of a problem to a different state. Recent years have seen an increase in the number of research attempts that propose the adoption of Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as a means to forecast the effect of a policy in a number of interesting domains, including land use, urban (re)development, and other social, political, or economic issues or to simulate the current state of affairs to pinpoint possible hotspots for creating a policy. This chapter presents an overview of these research attempts where fuzzy cognitive maps have been employed as a simulation tool in order to support decision makers in their assessment of the impact of policies and help them adopt the most suitable policy to implement. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/9577 | ISBN: | 978-146666239-1 978-146666237-7 |
