Abstract
In this paper, decision influence diagrams are studied when the assessment of utilities with real numerical values is considered to be too restrictive, and the use of fuzzy sets to model the problem in terms of fuzzy utilities seems appropiate. An algorithm to solve decision influence diagrams with fuzzy utilities is suggested.
