Abstract
In Chapter 5 it has been shown that an important problem in traditional discrete multicriteria methods in a fuzzy environment is the comparison of fuzzy sets. Here, first a concise overview of some other methods aiming at comparing fuzzy sets will be presented, and then a new approach based on the concept of a semantic distance, using areas instead of extreme values or values at the point of intersection, will be illustrated.
