Abstract

Decision making is a line of research that has been consolidating since its beginnings in the 1960s. The aim of this paper is to show the evolution and future challenges of this line of research, focusing especially on its evaluation and information methods. For this purpose, some issues and trends of the fuzzy decision system are presented. By doing so, it is possible to show which trend fuzzy decision systems will follow and the challenges that may arise.
