The purpose of this study is to apply multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, namely, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for selecting the best pedagogical method able develop soft skills required by job market with respect preference level assigned employers each skill. evaluated strategies are experiential pedagogy (EP), project-based learning (PjBL), problem-based (PBL), serious games (S...

in this paper an efficient three- stage algorithm is developed for software production cost and time estimation. first stage includes a hybrid model composed of cocomo and function points methods to increase estimation accuracy. second stage encompasses paired comparisons matrix of analytical hierarchy process to determine amount of any resources consumed in each step of software production by ...

This study mainly focuses on the risk evaluation of customer integration in new product development. Customer integration in product innovation projects has been widely recognized a best practice to enhance innovation success rate and reduces the development cycle time, but it also has many potential risks including loss of know-how, much dependence on customer, and limitation to incremental in...

<p class="Abstract">Security or protection systems at generators, substations, transmission, and housing others, especially to overcome lightning disturbances leakage currents, the earthing system must meet required standards. For each part of system, from substation residential electricity utilization as well other parts, standard earth resistance is not same, for example a maximum 5 Ω, ...

Most of new information systems development is now being undertaken with Web-based architectures. The objective of this study is to identify and assess the relative importance of the required features for methodologies used to develop Web-based information systems. Critical success factors (CSFs) for the development of Web-based applications were identified from the literature and organized int...

Abstract: This paper presents a modeling procedure of discovering emergent chance for decision making based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Firstly, the influencing factors of the chances are obtained from domain experts, and then calculate the weights of these influencing factors. Secondly, we use the grey relational model to grade possible chances in de...

This paper presents the development of a model based decision support system with a case study on solving the supplier selection problem in a chemical processing industry. For the evaluation and selection of supplier, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) were used. The intention of the study is to propose an appropriate platform for process industries in sel...
