Research Issues in Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM): The Impact of Uncertainty in Solution Evaluation

We consider Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as the conjunction of three components: search, preference tradeoffs, and interactive visualization. The first MCDM component is the search process over the space of possible solutions to identify the nondominated solutions that compose the Pareto set. The second component is the preference tradeoff process to select a single solution (or a smal...

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

Using composite ranking to select the most appropriate Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method in the optimal operation of the Dam reservoir

In this study, the performance of the algorithms of whale, Differential evolutionary, crow search, and Gray Wolf optimization were evaluated to operate the Golestan Dam reservoir with the objective function of meeting downstream water needs. Also, after defining the objective function and its constraints, the convergence degree of the algorithms was compared with each other and with the absolut...

Dynamic MCDM for Multi Group Decision Making

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) models make preference decisions over multiple attributes’ alternatives available, which in most of the cases conflict among themselves. On the other hand, the classic MCDM model assumes that the decision maker has a pre-defined fixed set of criteria, when taking a decision, and is presented with a clear picture of all available alternatives. This classi...

Identification and ranking of key indicators of health, safety, environment and energy education performance based on multi criteria decision making (MCDM)

Introduction: Health, safety, environment and energy management systems are one of the most popular models, and Implementing and deploying it will prevent waste of time and money. Execution, Continuity Optimal performance it requires effective training. The purpose of this study was to identify and rank important indicators for health, safety, environment and energy education. Methods: This re...
