Abstract

Decision-making is a process of choosing among alternative courses of action for solving complicated problems where multi-criteria objectives are involved. The past few years have witnessed a growing recognition of soft computing (SC) (Zadeh, 1998) technologies that underlie the conception, design, and utilization of intelligent systems. In this chapter, we present different SC paradigms involving an artificial neural network (Zurada, 1992) trained by using the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm (Moller, 1993), two different fuzzy inference methods (Abraham, 2001) optimised by using neural network learning/evolutionary algorithms (Fogel, 1999), and regression trees (Breiman, Friedman, Olshen, & Stone, 1984) for developing intelligent decision support systems (Tran, Abraham, & Jain, 2004). We demonstrate the efficiency of the different algorithms by developing a decision support system for a tactical air combat environment (TACE) (Tran & Zahid, 2000). Some empirical comparisons between the different algorithms are also provided.
