Moreover, we show that total monotonicity does not imply, in general, supermodularity of the integral, when we consider the symmetric Choquet integral or the Sugeno integral. Finally, we also prove that, for the Choquet integral, T -supermodularity implies supermodularity, when T is the product t-norm, and it is equivalent to supermodularity, when T is the Łuckasiewicz t-norm.

It shows up in the recently published papers that some new types of integrals on symmetric scales are useful tools for applications in decision making problems [6, 8, 12, 21]. The Sugeno integral has been introduced by M. Sugeno in [20] and for an A-measurable function f : X → [0, 1] is defined by

In this context we are focusing our attention about several properties of aggregation functions, like supermodularity and Schur-concavity, studying also a decomposition of supermodular binary aggregation operators and copulae.

This property was introduced in [17] in order to extend the concept of supermodularity for Choquet integral, by using Frank t-norms and considering the particular case of two membership functions such that their minimum is zero. Now we consider general membership functions and we use properties and links among belief measures, Möbius transform and Choquet integrals, in order to present the general case studied over a finite set.

The additive generators of Archimedean ultramodular binary copulas are fully characterized. Finally, a new construction method for binary copulas based on n-ary ultramodular aggregation functions is proposed.

This procedure is critical during the drilling process and for the overall safety of the ship. Based on a heuristic evaluation of the ballast control operator interface for a vessel being commissioned, this paper describes a prototype which implements Human Computer Interface (HCI) design principles that were lacking in the original displays. The former design included elements of information overload, poor shape and coloring of icons, inconsistent layouts, and inadequate menu designs. We prototyped a simulation plus operator interface to explore improvements in these areas and for enabling future students in the US-Brazil exchange program to understand and build on the current design. This paper reviews the existing ballast control operator interface on the Pride do Rio oil drilling platform and describes the features of the new prototype simulation system.
