A fuzzy weighted influence non-linear gauge system with application to advanced technology assessment at NASA

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a new fuzzy Weighted Influence Non-linear Gauge System (WINGS).

• We uncover interdependencies by the direction, intensity and strength of dependencies.

• Fuzzy judgments are used to cope with uncertainties in untested new technologies.

• We introduce ideal and nadir alternatives in WINGS to study the solution space.

• We present a case study to evaluate ten advanced technology projects at NASA.
