Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms by a Fuzzy Decision Support System

摘要

Aim of the paper is the development of a Fuzzy Decision Support System (FDSS) for the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of the deliberate release of genetically modified plants. The evaluation process permits identifying potential impacts that can achieve one or more receptors through a set of migration paths. ERA process is often performed in presence of incomplete and imprecise data and is generally yielded using the personal experience and knowledge of the human experts. Therefore the risk assessment in the FDSS is obtained by using a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), performed using jFuzzyLogic library. The decisions derived by FDSS have been validated on real world cases by the human experts that are in charge of ERA. They have confirmed the reliability of the fuzzy support system decisions.
