Aggregation is the process of combining several numerical values into a single representative value, and an aggregation function performs this operation. These functions arise wherever aggregating information is important: applied and pure mathematics (probability, statistics, decision theory, functional equations), operations research, computer science, and many applied fields (economics and finance, pattern recognition and image processing, data fusion, etc.). This is a comprehensive, rigorous and self-contained exposition of aggregation functions. Classes of aggregation functions covered include triangular norms and conorms, copulas, means and averages, and those based on nonadditive integrals. The properties of each method, as well as their interpretation and analysis, are studied in depth, together with construction methods and practical identification methods. Special attention is given to the nature of scales on which values to be aggregated are defined (ordinal, interval, ratio, bipolar). It is an ideal introduction for graduate students and a unique resource for researchers.

This book is an up-to-date collection, in AI and environmental research, related to the project ATLAS. The second part of the book is devoted to AI in the geo-referenced air pollutants and meteorological data, image processing, machine learning, neural networks, swarm intelligence, robotics, mental well-being and data entry errors.

Since the notions and results offered by this book are closely related to various notions of the theory of probability, this book will be useful to a wider category of readers, using multivalued analysis techniques in areas such as control theory and optimization, economic mathematics, game theory, decision theory, etc.

The theory and applications of  intelligent systems is today an important field of research. This  book is an up-to-date collection of seventeen chapters, written by recognized experts in the field. In an introductory mathematical foundations part an overview of generalizations of the integral inequalities for nonadditive integrals  and a construction of the General Prioritized Fuzzy Satisfaction Problem is given. Then different aspects of robotics are presented, such as the differences between human beings and robots, the  motion of bipedal humanoid robots, and an evaluation of  different autonomous quadrotor flight controllers. Also Fuzzy Systems are presented by a model of basic planar imprecise geometric objects  allowing  various applications in image analysis , GIS, and robotics, as well as a  type-2 fuzzy logic in  a software library for developing perceptual computers, and a two--degree--of--freedom  speed control solutions for a brushless Direct Current motor.  The book also presents recent applications in medicine such as  a Virtual Doctor System, methods for a face to face human machine interaction, and  an emotion estimation,  with applications   for multiple diseases and the effect of the applied therapy. The last part of the book covers different applications in transportation, network monitoring, and localization of pedestrians in images.
