This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled "Optimization for Decision Making II". These works give an appropriate response to the new challenges raised, the decision-making process can be done by applying different methods and tools, as well as using different objectives. In real-life problems, the formulation of decision-making problems and the application of optimization techniques to support decisions are particularly complex and a wide range of optimization techniques and methodologies are used to minimize risks, improve quality in making decisions or, in general, to solve problems. In addition, a sensitivity or robustness analysis should be done to validate/analyze the influence of uncertainty regarding decision-making. This book brings together a collection of inter-/multi-disciplinary works applied to the optimization of decision making in a coherent manner.History of engineering and technologybicsscHistory of engineering and technologyYepes Víctoredt1296141Moreno-Jiménez JoséedtYepes VíctorothMoreno-Jiménez JoséothBOOK9910557283603321Optimization for Decision Making II3023802UNINA
