MULTI CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATION TO TECHNOLOGY SELECTION

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

Site selection of water storage based on multi-criteria decision analysis

Water loss can be minimized and conserve through constructing small storage dams for various irrigation purposes to support local livelihood. Geographic information system provides powerful techniques for many hydrological modeling and suitable dam site selection. The current study explored potential sites for small storage dams to meet agricultural requirements in district Malakand, Khyber Puk...

A modification of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets and its application to multiple criteria decision making

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Using multi criteria decision making in analysis of alternatives for selection of enabling technology

In September 2009 the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported, “Defense Acquisitions: Many Analyses of Alternatives Have Not Provided a Robust Assessment of Weapon System Options” [U.S. Government Accountability Office, Pub. No. GAO-09-665, 2009, p. 1]. In their focused review of 32 Acquisition Category I programs, it was found that 10 did not conduct an Analysis of Alternatives (A...
