Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) involves techniques which relatively recently have received great increase in interest for their capabilities of solving spatial decision problems. One of the most frequently used techniques of MCDA is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the AHP, decision-makers make pairwise comparisons between different criteria to obtain values of their relative import...

The recent government tendering process being conducted in an electronic way is becoming an inevitable affair for numerous governmental agencies to further exploit the superiorities of conventional tendering. Thus, developing an effective web-based bid evaluation methodology so as to realize an efficient and effective government E-tendering (GeT) system is imperative. This paper firstly investi...

BACKGROUND Health-promoting lifestyles of adolescents are closely related to their current and subsequent health status. However, few studies in mainland China have examined health-promoting behaviors among university students, notwithstanding the dramatic development of higher education over the past two decades. Moreover, no study has applied a standardized scale to such an investigation. The...

The importance of case-indexing method selection in the CBR system is analyzed, and the defaults of traditional case indexing methods are pointed out. A model of caseretrieving based on AHP is presented and the basic principle and process of CBR and AHP are introduced. With the development environment of CGI, the prototype system is developed, and the core source code and running interface are ...

A lot of research has been devoted to the critical analysis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), from various perspectives. However, as far as we know, no one has addressed a fundamental problem, discussed in this paper, concerning the meaning of the priority vector derived from the principal eigenvalue method used in AHP. The role of AHP’s consistency ratio is also analysed. 2006 Elsevier ...

This study deals with prioritization of sustainable supply chin measurement indicators which are calculated by using Chang’s extent method of Fuzzy AHP. Within the model of Fuzzy AHP, main attributes, sub attributes and indicators are defined. The weights of them are calculated from the answers of questionnaire, which is formed for pair-wise comparison of attributes and indicators. The results ...
