Fuzzy Models for Complex Social Systems Using Distributed Agencies in Poverty Studies

  • Conference paper
Software Engineering and Computer Systems (ICSECS 2011)

Abstract

There are several ways to model a complex social system, as is the poverty of an entity, the object of this paper is to present a methodology consisting of several techniques that offers to solve complex social problems with soft computing.
