Designing a Decision Support System for Recommending Smartphones Using Fuzzy Ontologies

Nowadays, smartphones have become indispensable items for everybody. Thanks to them, people can communicate and access Internet at any time regardless of where they are located. New smartphones belonging to a high amount of labels and with different features and prices keep appearing constantly in the market. This way, there is a need of tools that help buyers to select and buy the smartphone that better fits their necessities. In this article, a decision support system build over a fuzzy ontology has been designed in order to help people to select the perfect smartphone for them. Linguistic labels are used in order to provide the buyer with a comfortable way of expressing himself/herself.
