Applying the fuzzy preference relation to the software selection

چکیده
Software selection is not a well-defined or structured decision problem. Lai et al. [5] uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to solve a Multimedia authoring systems (MAS) selection problem. However, the AHP method is difficult to obtain a convincing consistency index when the number of attributes or alternatives is increased. Hence, this paper applies the fuzzy preference relation (Fuzzy PreRa) method to solve the problems mentioned in the paper written by Lai et al. [5]. Applying the Fuzzy PreRa method to decision making is more efficient, as not only the ratio of the pairwise comparison times of the priority weight for the six factors between Fuzzy PreRa and AHP is 5:15, but also the outcome obtained by Fuzzy PreRa almost coincides with the one that produced by the AHP method. Key-Words: Fuzzy preference relation, Fuzzy PreRa, AHP, Multimedia authoring systems (MAS)

A Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems
Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...

In this paper, we first use a fuzzy preference relation with a membership function representing preference degree forcomparing two interval-valued fuzzy numbers and then utilize a relative preference relation improved from the fuzzypreference relation to rank a set of interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Since the fuzzy preference relation is a total orderingrelation that satisfies reciprocal and tra...

The paper introduces a new approach to preference structure, where from a weak preference relation derive the following relations:strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined. We decomposing a preference relation into a strict preference, anindifference, and an incomparability relation.This approach allows one to quantify diff...

متن کاملA new method for solving fuzzy multi-objective linear programming problems
The purpose of this paper is to develop a new two-stage method for fuzzy multi-objective linear program and apply to engineering project portfolio selection. In the fuzzy multi-objective linear program, all the objective coefficients, technological coefficients and resources are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). An order relationship for TrFNs is introduced by using the interval expectation of...
