Interval fuzzy preference relations can be useful to express decision makers' preferences in group decision-making problems. Usually, we apply a selection process and a consensus process to solve a group decision situation. In this paper, we present a consensus model for group decisionmaking problems with interval fuzzy preference relations. This model is based on two consensus criteria, a cons...

Individuals make decisions under uncertainty every day based on incomplete information concerning the potential outcome of the choice or chance levels. The choices individuals make often deviate from the rational or mathematically objective solution. Accordingly, the dynamics of human decisionmaking are difficult to capture using conventional, linear mathematical models. Here, we present data f...

Introduction. Continuous learning and online decisionmaking in complex dynamic environments under conditions of uncertainty and limited computational recourses represent one of the most challenging problems for developing robust intelligent systems. The existing task of unsupervised clustering in statistical learning requires the maximizing (or minimizing) of a certain similarity-based objectiv...

Many decisions in organizations are made, or at least prepared, by multiple cooperating decision makers. A distributed DSS architecture is presented that connects multiple individual DSS to a group DSS. The group decisionmaking process is supported by contentoriented methods based on extensions of multiple criteria decision making methods, as well as by process-oriented techniques using a compu...

According to the characteristics of emergencies, a dynamic multi-objective emergency decisionmaking model is proposed. By introducing triangular fuzzy Numbers calculate correlation distance between selected solution, ideal solution and negative considering degree solutions, indexes highlighted. In addition, paper strengthens processing uncertain information in real world through comprehensive i...

this paper presents a multi-criteria vehicle routing problem with soft time windows (vrpstw) to mini-mize fleet cost, routes cost, and violation of soft time windows penalty. in this case, the fleet is heterogene-ous. the vrpstw consists of a number of constraints in which vehicles are allowed to serve customers out of the desirable time window by a penalty. it is assumed that this relaxation a...

in today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, an effective supplier selection process is very important for the success of any business organization. selection of the best supplier is always a difficult task for the purchasing manager. suppliers have varied strengths and weaknesses which require careful assessment by the purchasing manager before selecting and ranking them. any suppl...

in an arid country like kuwait with harsh and hot climate conditions, the scarcity of fresh water supplies presents a serious threat to sustainable socio-economic development and growth. kuwait is an oil rich country with capital abundance and coastal locations enabled it to build desalination plants for fresh water production that is sold to the customers at highly subsidized prices. however, ...

for the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.in this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in agis environment for afforestation with juglans regia in gharnaveh watershed of golestanprovince in iran. juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of iran. relevant criteria for...
