In this study, we introduce a novel modified synthetic evaluation method (M-TOPSIS) based on the concept of original TOPSIS and calculate the distance between the alternatives and ‘optimized ideal reference point’ in the D D-plane. It could avoid rank reversals and solve the problem on evaluation failure that often occurs in original TOPSIS, so we believe that the mechanism of M-TOPSIS is more ...

To increase the Internet's reliability and to have greater control over traffic transmission, reliable path selection is important and Multipath routing is promising technique that are used in the communication networks. Finding reliable end-end paths and backup can increase network performance. So, using proper decision metrics and algorithm should be used to paths and backup selection phase i...

Software selection process for many organizations is a challenging task to conduct their business activities and sustain competitiveness. This paper develops new hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method select the most efficient vendor-supplied software package which used in all planning or designing, organizing, supervising functions by operations management of fuel oil company oper...

Multi-stakeholder based construction projects are subject to various risk factors due to 17 dynamic business environments. These risks affect project activities which indirectly impact 18 construction costs, resulting in delays and poor building quality. So, managing these project risks 19 requires suitable risk mitigation strategies to evaluate and analyse their severity. Hence, risk 20 evalua...

Abstract Financial institutions use credit rating models to make lending, investing, and risk management decisions. Credit have been developed using a variety of statistical machine learning methods. These methods, however, are data-intensive dependent on assumptions about data distribution. This research offers an integrated fuzzy model address such issues. study proposes reduce problems. The ...

A powerful tool for dealing with ambiguity, attributive values, fuzziness, and inconsistency is the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy soft set. In this paper, multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) technique called extended TOPSIS based on distance similarity measures presented. Furthermore, a real-world problem resolved by applying CIFS-set to support theoretical visualization. Arguably, propos...

In order to resolve cases related to an alternative selection problems (MADM problems), various methods have been applied. Many methods are used to solve the MADM problems, which sometimes give different results. To resolve MADM problem, we can use AHP and TOPSIS methods. The advantages of AHP method are it can provide solutions through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative decision. In ...

Most decision making problems can be considered as multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems, and should be solved by MCDM method. The main advantage of MCDM is that it can give managers many dimensions to consider related elements, and evaluate all possible options under variable degrees. This paper applied fuzzy set theory and a compromised MCDM method VIKOR method to evaluate the ser...
