“…The outputs of the Encoder activate a CWW Engine, whose output is another fuzzy set, which is then mapped by a Decoder into a word most similar to a codebook word. In a recent contribution, Mendel (2008) tracks the origins of perceptual computing to Tong and Bonissone (1980) and remarks how Schmucker (1984) in his monography presented the essence of perceptual computing. (Mendel 2008) Another important concept is the retranslation process in CW, that is, to approximately describe a given fuzzy set in natural language.…”

Computing with Words (CW) methodology has been used in several different environments to narrow the differences between human reasoning and computing. As Decision Making is a typical human mental process, it seems natural to apply the CW methodology in order to create and enrich decision models in which the information that is provided and manipulated has a qualitative nature. In this paper we make a review of the developments of CW in decision making. We begin with an overview of the CW methodology and we explore different linguistic computational models that have been applied to the decision making field. Then we present an historical perspective of CW in decision making by examining the pioneer papers in the field along with its most recent applications. Finally, some current trends, open questions and prospects in the topic are pointed out.

This paper traces the historical origins of perceptual computing and credits Tong and Bonissone (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern 10:716-723, 1980) as being the first to originate it but under a different name. It also takes the position that interval type-2 fuzzy sets, and not type-1 fuzzy sets, should be used in perceptual computing. Finally, it proposes some testable guidelines for when a solution (e.g., perceptual computing) may be branded computing with words.

“…Some are based on the use of the associated membership functions of the labels [Bonissone and Decker, 1986;Tong, 1980], and others act by direct computation on labels [Delgado et al, 1993;Herrera and Verdegay, 1993;Yager 1992;Yager, 1995]. Here we will use the later approach.…”

The traditional approach to suppliers selection based on price is simplistic because the information held for the decision making model is more complex and without precision in some tasks. There are qualitative factors that demand some judgement to determine a suppliers selection. Therefore, the linguistic representation of the of the knowledge available allows the problem to be recognised as in real life. This paper aims to supply a linguistic decision model to purchasing management problems.
