Abstract

The article deals with a way of automated evaluation of competent persons evaluated as a percentage. In the introduction, the need of evaluating professional competencies of new or existing employees is outlined. We define the problem of overall evaluating various professional competencies. Subsequently, we propose a hierarchical system that automatically generates aggregate evaluation of any number of evaluating computations including continuous visualisation of the results. As a calculating unit, we use the Takagi-Sugeno expert system. This solution can be extended with other attributes that can be evaluated for competencies. The proposed hierarchical system is experimentally verified.
