Himpunan Fuzzy dan Rough Sets
The concept of a fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh in 1965. Fuzzy set is a mathematical model of vague qualitative or quantitative data, frequently generated by means of the natural language. The model is based on the generalization of the classical concepts of set and its characteristic function. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are sets whose elements have degrees of membership and non-membership. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been introduced by Atanassov in 1983 as an extension fuzzy sets. On the other hand, the concept of rough set was proposed by Pawlak 1982. Since then the subject has been investigated in many papers. The overall aim of this paper is to present an introduction to some of main concepts related to fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and rough sets. We investigate Crisp sets and characteristic functions, fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, rough sets and probabilistic rough sets
Interval-valued 2-tuple hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set and its application in multiple attribute decision making
[EN] The hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets can retain the completeness of linguistic information elicitation by assigning a set of possible linguistic terms to a qualitative variable. However, sometimes experts cannot make sure that the objects attain these possible linguistic terms but only provide the degrees of confidence to express their hesitant cognition. Given that the interval numbers can denote the possible membership degrees that an object belongs to a set, it is suitable and convenient to provide an interval-valued index to measure the degree of a linguistic variable to a given hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set. Inspired by this idea, we introduce the concept of interval-valued 2-tuple hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (IV2THFLTS) based on the interval number and the hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set. Then, we define some interval-valued 2-tuple hesitant fuzzy linguistic aggregation operators. Afterwards, to overcome the instability of subjective weights, we propose a method to compute the weights of attributes. For the convenience of application, a method is given to solve the multiple attribute decision making problems with IV2THFLTSs. Finally, a case study is carried out to validate the proposed method, and some comparisons with other methods are given to show the advantages of the proposed method.The work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 71501135, 71771156), the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2016T90863, 2016M602698), the Fundamental Research Funds for the central Universities (No. YJ201535), and the Scientific Research Foundation for Excellent Young Scholars at Sichuan University (No. 2016SCU04A23).Si, G.; Liao, H.; Yu, D.; Llopis Albert, C.

On fuzzy-qualitative descriptions and entropy
This paper models the assessments of a group of experts when evaluating different magnitudes, features or objects by using linguistic descriptions. A new general representation of linguistic descriptions is provided by unifying ordinal and fuzzy perspectives. Fuzzy qualitative labels are proposed as a generalization of the concept of qualitative labels over a well-ordered set. A lattice structure is established in the set of fuzzy-qualitative labels to enable the introduction of fuzzy-qualitative descriptions as L-fuzzy sets. A theorem is given that characterizes finite fuzzy partitions using fuzzy-qualitative labels, the cores and supports of which are qualitative labels. This theorem leads to a mathematical justification for commonly-used fuzzy partitions of real intervals via trapezoidal fuzzy sets. The information of a fuzzy-qualitative label is defined using a measure of specificity, in order to introduce the entropy of fuzzy-qualitative descriptions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

An evaluation methodology for the level of service at the airport landside system
A methodology is proposed for evaluating the level of service within an airport
landside system from the passenger's point of view using linguistic service
criteria. The new concept of level of service for a transport system, particularly
within the airports indicates that there must be strong stimulation in order to
proceed with the current stereotyped service standards which are being
criticised due to their being based on, either physical capacity/volume or
temporal/spatial standards that directly incorporates the perception of
passengers, the dominant users. Most service evaluation methodologies have
been concentrated on the factors of the time spent and the space provided.
These quantitative factors are reasonably simple to measure but represent a
narrow approach. Qualitative service level attributes are definitely important
factors when evaluating the level of service from a user's point of view. This
study has adopted three main evaluation factors: temporal or spatial factors as
quantitative measurements and comfort factors and reasonable service factors
as qualitative measurements. The service level evaluation involves the
passenger's subjective judgement as a perception for service provision. To
evaluate the level of service in the airport landside system from the user's
perception, this research proposes to apply a multi-decision model using fuzzy
set theory, in particular fuzzy approximate reasoning. Fuzzy set theory provides a
strict mathematical framework for vague conceptual phenomena and a
modelling language for real situations. The multi-decision model was applied to
a case study at Kimpo International Airport in Seoul, Korea. Results are
presented in terms of passenger satisfaction and dissatisfaction with a variety of
different values

Applying concepts of fuzzy cognitive mapping to model IT/IS investment evaluation factors
The justification process is a major concern for many organisations that are considering the adoption of Information Technology (IT) and Information Systems (IS), and is a barrier to its implementation. As a result, the competitive advantage of many companies is being put at risk because of management's inability to evaluate the holistic implication of adopting new technology, both in terms of on the benefit and cost portfolios. This paper identifies a number of well-known project appraisal techniques used in IT/IS investment justification. Furthermore, the concept of multivalent, or fuzzy logic, is used to demonstrate how inter-relationships can be modeled between key dimensions identified in the proposed conceptual evaluation model. This is highlighted using fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) as a technique to model each IT/IS evaluation factor (integrating strategic, tactical, operational and investment considerations). The use of an FCM is then shown to be as a complementary tool which can serve to highlight interdependencies between contributory justification factors
