摘要
The paper reviews the problem of widely defined measurement in soft systems. It defines soft systems as those incorporating human activity, or describable by fuzzy logic. It considers examples from measurements in psychology, economics and psychology. A framework for considering measurement in soft systems is offered for discussion. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
