This implies to define a heterogeneous context with different types of information that experts will use to provide their assessments. But sometimes, experts do not have enough knowledge or information to assess the criteria and they hesitate to express their assessments. Therefore, in this contribution a fuzzy TOPSIS multicriteria decision making approach that deals with heterogeneous information and comparative linguistic expressions based on hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets to facilitate the elicitation of information in hesitate situations is proposed. This approach is developed in FLINTSTONES.}, year = {2015}, journal = {16th World Congress of the International Fuzzy Systems Association}, pages = {799-806}, month = {June 30th-July 3rd}, address = {Gijón (Spain)}, issn = {1951-6851}, isbn = {978-94-62520-77-6}, doi = {10.2991/ifsa-eusflat-15.2015.113}, }
