This article is an update of an article five of us published in 1992. The areas of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Multiattribute Utility Theory (MAUT) continue to be active areas of management science research and application. This paper extends the history of these areas and discusses topics we believe to be important for the future of these fields. as well as two anonymous revie...

Background Hypercholesterolaemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Treatment with HMG coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) had been proven to reduce the risk. Due to high prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia, statins consumption is high. Statins available in Malaysia include atorvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin and fluvastatin. All except one (f...

This article addresses the area of decision making for information systems (IS). We recognize the great demand for methods and techniques that can be of practical help by presenting a new, conceptual approach, the profile distance method, to support the IS selection problem. This approach combines the merits of two prominent concepts individually applied in decision making: the utility ranking ...

We consider the multicriteria decision-making problem where there is partial information on decision maker preferences, represented by means of an imprecise multiattribute additive utility function, and where the consequences of the alternatives or strategies are also possibly imprecise. Under these circumstances we consider how useful problem-solving concepts, namely nondominated, potentially ...

Decision Support System is playing an important role in computer science, technology and engineering. Intelligent decision-making is one of the current hotspots in the decision support system research. Intelligent decisionmaking methods and algorithms are one of the most important basics and key cores in intelligent information processing, intelligent pervasive computing and so on. In this pape...

Detection of gene mutation is an activity that can provide contribution in the medical field. Detection of mutated gene is needed to avoid the diseases caused by them such as cancer. The detection of gene mutations can be performed by utilizing computer-based system. Group Decision Support System (GDSS) is a computer-based system that can be utilized in detecting human gene mutations that cause...
