An interesting topic in this area in recent years has been Granular Computing. In this paper, we present a coherent framework for various models of information granules, using hierarchies of information for dealing with knowledge acquired and processed at different levels of abstraction. Granular Computing, a paradigm for handling higher types of uncertainty in decision analysis, is considered a new conceptual and algorithmic asset of decision-making studies and, in particular, data-driven decision-making. Most relevant studies have focused on categories of information granules, namely intervals, fuzzy sets, rough sets, and shadowed sets. To better understand this promising area, this study provides a comprehensive overview of Granular Computing for decision-making through literature analysis, enhancing a variety of extensions, applications, and challenges.}, year = {2023}, journal = {Information Fusion}, volume = {98}, pages = {101833}, issn = {1566-2535}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1566253523001495}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.inffus.2023.101833}, }
