Fuzzy expertise and its application to R & D management

Abstract

Applications of fuzzy set theory to various problems of data processing influenced greatly the analysis of expert opinion results. The authors developed models based on the fuzzy set concept for expert assessments using quantitative and qualitative scales typical in R & D management. The approach is illustrated by the solution of the problem of ranking of the factors influencing practical applications of research results.
