This book provides readers with a timely and comprehensive yet concise view on the field of
fuzzy logic and its real-world applications. The chapters written by authoritative scholars in
the field report on promising new models for data analysis decision making and systems
modeling with a special emphasis on their applications in management science. The book is a
token of appreciation from the fuzzy research community to Professor Christer Carlsson for his
long time research and organizational commitment which have among other things resulted in the
foundation and success of the Institute for Advanced Management Systems Research (IAMSR) at Åbo
Akademi University in Åbo (Turku) Finland. The book serves as timely guide for the fuzzy
logic and operations research communities alike.
