Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a powerful quantitative measurement method in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) area. It has been used in banks, manufacturing systems, organizational performance evaluation, and project selection. Despite this widespread usage, many studies argue that rank reversal phenomenon is unpreventable when any AHP method is applied. This paper presents that t...

In modern days as because there are multiple number of object-oriented software systems, it is a real challenge for everyone to choose single one system among so many and variety of alternatives. This is obviously a challenging task to find out the most appropriate software system. In this particular study Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique has been integrated with ISO 9126-1 and it h...

Due to a high number of open source software over the internet, it is a challenge to determine which one – over a verity of alternatives – is the most appropriate for our intended needs. In this paper, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique along with the ISO 9126 will be integrated and applied to the selection process of open source software products. Thus, the intended features (i.e...

Meeting Scheduling Problem (MSP) arranges meetings between a number of participants. Reaching consensus in arranging a meeting is very diffuclt and time-consuming when the number of participants is large. One efficient approach for overcoming this problem is the use of multi-agent systems. In a multi-agent system, agents are deciding on behalf of their users. They must be able to elicite their ...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self configuring network, without any centralized control. The topology of this network is not always defined. The main objective of this paper is to introduce the fundamental concepts of MANETs to the researchers and practitioners, who are involved in the work in the area of modeling and simulation of MANETs. This paper begins with an overview of mobile ad ...

Making Decision in non-structured problems is not a simple task. For this reason, decision makers use Decision Support Systems (DSS). These kinds of systems implement techniques and algorithms in order to improve the decision process. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of these techniques which yields a ranking scale of alternatives based on criteria and alternative matrices. These matrice...

In looking for different types of large-scale activities of food sanitation supervision and security modes, improving the efficiency of food hygiene protection, this paper establishes the evaluation index system for sports food hygiene, and proposed the sports food hygiene evaluation model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the interval fuzzy TOPSIS method. AHP is used to determi...

This paper applied the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) technique and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) procedure to evaluate the wastewater treatment for enterprises. Based on the characteristics of wastewater treatment for enterprises in Taihu basin, an evaluating index system was established for enterprise and analysis hierarchy process method was applied to determine index weight. Then t...

Software and applications are subjected to serious and damaging security threats, these threats are increasing as a result of increased number of potential vulnerabilities. Security testing is an indispensable process to validate software security requirements and to identify security related vulnerabilities. In this paper we analyze and compare different available vulnerabilities testing techn...

Due to green legislations, industries track the used products through reverse logistics contractors. A reverse logistics programme offers significant cost savings in procurement, transportation, disposal and inventory carrying. Since reverse logistics operations and the supply chains they support are considerably more complex than traditional manufacturing supply chains, it can be offered to th...
