Abstract
We introduce the idea of centered OWA operators. We define these as OWA operators that give preference to argument values that lie in the middle between the largest and the smallest. An important class of these using Gaussian type weights is investigated in considerable detail. We describe a number of different examples of centered OWA operators.
