Abstract

This paper focuses on a novel methodological framework for converting a Fuzzy Cognitive Map into a network of rule-based Fuzzy Inference Systems. Furthermore, it allows to obtain a crisp value representing an arbitrary parameter of the complex system's model. This way the system provides a quantitative answer without employing an exact mathematical model. This paper also outlines a first possible application area: the valuation of investments in high-technology ventures. A field in which usually conventional quantitative and retrospective measures usually do not deliver satisfying results due to the complexity of future-oriented risk prognosis and the lack of quantitative data.
