Abstract

In order to reflect the aggregation situation in the aggregation process, aggregation based on situation assessment (ASA) method was proposed in [1]. It consists of the situation assessment model (SAM) and the ASA algorithm. In the SAM, the value of parameter, p, is transformed into the nearest integer value [1]. The integer-typed output of SAM is used as input for an aggregation. The integer-typed output of SAM indicates the current degree of aggregation situation. The ASA algorithm produces at most finite several aggregation results between min and max. In the sequel, the ASA method can not properly handle the applications with the more sophisticated aggregation results between min and max. In order to solve this problem, we propose two improved ASA (I-ASA) methods. In these I-ASA methods, we allow the value of parameter of SAM to be a real number, and suggest two improved ASA algorithms to make continuous aggregation results between min and max. These I-ASA methods can handle both a precise aggregation and an approximate aggregation. Therefore, when compared to the ASA method [1], the proposed I-ASA methods have advantages in that they can handle the applications with the more sophisticated aggregation results and can be used in the more general applications for aggregations.
