Abstract :
Preferences and uncertainty occur in many real-life problems. The theory of possibility is one way of dealing with uncertainty, which allows for easy integration with fuzzy preferences. In this paper we consider an existing technique to perform such an integration and, while following the same basic idea, we propose to generalize it to other classes of preferences and to probabilistic uncertainty while maintaining certain desirable properties
