Aggregation Functions in Theory and in Practice

This book collects the abstracts of the contributions presented at AGOP 2017, the 9th International Summer School on Aggregation Operators. The conference took place in Skövde (Sweden) in June 2017. Contributions include works from theory and fundamentals of aggregation functions to their use in applications. Aggregation functions are usually defined as those functions that are monotonic and that satisfy the unanimity condition. In particular settings these conditions are relaxed.

Aggregation functions are used for data fusion and decision making.

Examples of these functions include means, t-norms and t-conorms, copulas and fuzzy integrals (e.g., the Choquet and Sugeno integrals).

Includes the latest research on aggregation functions Presents state-of-the-art technologies and applications Provides selected scientific contributions at the 9th International Summer School on Aggregation Operators (AGOP 2017), held in Skövde, Sweden from June 12 to 22, 2017 Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
