Interval-Based Multicriteria Decision Making

The aim of this paper is to show how non-additive measures and intervals can be combined in order to provide a simple and accurate approach to multi-criteria decision making problems. We construct an interval-based Choquet integral in order to derive preferences over a set of multidimensional alternatives. Preferences are no longer real number comparisons, but interval comparisons, which is not...

Multicriteria Decision Making Based on Fuzzy Relations

The considered models describe multicriteria decision making when the information provided from different criteria is given as fuzzy relations. These models differ according to the kind of the criteria weights and the aggregation procedures to fuse the fuzzy relations. The properties of aggregated fuzzy relation required to decide some multicriteria problem is discussed.

Spatial Multicriteria Decision Making

DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...

Enabling Global Software Development via Cloud-Based Software Process Enactment

Global software development (GSD) is a software development model where the development effort spans across distributed locations. Although GSD has gained vast popularity due to its economical benefits, it faces various challenges as a result of cultural, temporal and spatial distances. Cloud computing is becoming the norm for consuming computing resources due to its economies of scale. While t...
