This essential guide bridges theoretical and real-world execution, presenting actionable tools, cutting-edge methodologies, and proven case studies needed to design resilient decision systems that excel in today’s complex, uncertain world.

In today’s data-driven world, uncertainty is constant, and smart decision-making demands systems that can adapt, reason, and respond. This book explores how modern fuzzy logic, soft computing, and multi-criteria decision-making methods are revolutionizing the way complex decisions are made in uncertain environments. It brings together global experts to present state-of-the-art methodologies like fuzzy AHP, TOPSIS, DEMATEL, picture fuzzy sets, and interval-valued fuzzy logic, applied across vital domains including smart cities, sustainable supply chains, digital healthcare, and urban infrastructure. Together, they explore both the theoretical foundations and real-world applications of intelligent decision-making methodologies.

At the core of these contributions lies a common theme:the imperative to model, manage, and make informed decisions under conditions that are inherently imprecise, ambiguous, or conflicting conditions that traditional models often struggle to address. Ranging from foundational theories to advanced sector-specific applications, the book bridges the gap between research and real-world problem-solving, covering a diverse range of industries from urban planning and logistics to healthcare and environmental sustainability, demonstrating the growing reach and versatility of intelligent decision systems. Whether optimizing green logistics, evaluating public health strategies, or enabling intelligent urban planning, readers will discover actionable tools, models, and case studies that respond to today’s challenges. Ideal for researchers, practitioners, and policy professionals, this book is an essential guide to designing robust, adaptive decision support systems that thrive in complexity and uncertainty.

Readers will find the volume:

• Covers advanced fuzzy logic techniques with real-world applications in supply chain, healthcare, and smart cities;
• Features cutting-edge methodologies like fuzzy AHP, TOPSIS, and DEMATEL;
