INTEGRATING SPATIAL COST PATH AND MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS FOR FINDING ALTERNATIVE ROUTES DURING FLOODING

Multi-Criteria Evaluation and Least Cost Path Analysis for Optimal Haulage Routing in Open-Pit Mines

All-path: Finding Simply Fastest Path and Balancing Load by Flooding ARP Packets as Path Probes

Shortest path bridging overcomes the limitations of the spanning tree protocol in switched networks. Dominant approaches like Shortest Path Bridges (IEEE 802.1aq) and TRILL (IETF) Rbridges add a link state routing protocol in layer two to compute shortest paths between bridges, but these paths are shared by multiple hosts. Balancing the load at links requires complex equal cost multipath comput...

A New Multi-Objective Model for a Cell Formation Problem Considering Machine Utilization and Alternative Process Routes (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents a novel, multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for a cell formation problem (CFP) with alternative means. Due to existing contradiction among objectives, three are considered: 1) Minimizing the total cost consisting of; intercellular movements, purchasing, operation, and maintenance; 2) maximizing the utilization of machines in the system; 3) mini...

Multi-Criteria Spatial Analysis of Building Layouts

This paper proposes a multi-criteria based approach for the analysis of building layouts, from space quality and cost related perspectives. A computational prototype is developed to analyse a building layout from various accessibility related measures in order to evaluate the quality of the building special layout. A case study is used to demonstrate the assessment of a building layout based on...

INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS FOR MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...
