Implications of Fuzziness for the Practical Management of High-Stakes Risks

Abstract: High-stakes (dangerous, catastrophic) risks take on a wider profile as progress unfolds. What are the impacts of technological and social change on the risk landscape? Due to the complexities and dynamics involved, we can only answer these questions approximately. By using the concept of fuzziness, we can formalize our imprecision about high-stakes risk, and therefore place their management on a stronger footing. We review here the impacts of fuzziness, i.e., knowledge imperfection, on high-stakes risk managem… Show more

“…"A fundamental operation in data mining is the partitioning of a set of objects represented by data into homogeneous groups or clusters" [3]. The analysis of the process of groups making (clustering analysis) is fundamental nowadays for understanding the complex processes of various substantive areas such as medicine [4][5][6][7][8][9], chemical industry [10][11][12], engineering [13][14][15][16], image processing [17][18][19], business [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and others.…”

“…It is difficult to express trust using traditional mathematical theory since trust can be subjective and uncertain. Fuzzy theory can thus be used to handle uncertainty effectively and has been widely used in many fields such as natural science, social science and management [15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”
