Interactive Simulations in Support of Decision Making on Defence Resource Allocation

Rational Decision Making in Resource Allocation

Multiattribute Decision Making by Sequential Resource Allocation

A new approach is proposed for addressing decision problems in which the outcomes are multidimensional and possibly interdependent. The method is based on decomposing the problem into a sequence of simpler decision problems. The solution to each subproblem is elicited from the decisionmaker by converting it to a simple resource allocation task that may be solved by inspection. Our experience in...

Constrained consumable resource allocation in alternative stochastic networks via multi-objective decision making

Many real projects complete through the realization of one and only one path of various possible network paths. Here, these networks are called alternative stochastic networks (ASNs). It is supposed that the nodes of considered network are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of t...

A Decision Support System for Resource Allocation

This paper concerns the design of decision support systems (DSSs) which help financial managers in evaluating proposals for strategic and long-range planning. With the proposed two-phased DSS, projects are first selected from a given pool according to greedy heuristics based on the project’s preferences as well as the project’s efficiency. Then, integer programming with an approximation algorit...

Making Decision Support System for Utilization of Biogas in Iran

The use of renewable energy sources is often suggested to be a good solution for climate change and the dependency to fossil fuel. Biogas utilization is a one of these promising options that can mitigate these problems since biogas is produced by the fermentation of waste, so is rich in methane and has the same characteristics as natural gas. Biogas has increasingly been noticed in different co...
