In order to provide ubiquitous access for the users, future generation network integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’S) which can interoperate between them. However, the most challenging problem is the selection of an optimal radio access network, in terms of quality of service anywhere at anytime. This paper proposes a novel ranking algorithm, which combines multi attribute d...

We investigate the multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems with hesitant triangular fuzzy information. Firstly, definition and some operational laws of hesitant triangular fuzzy elements are introduced. Then, we develop some hesitant triangular fuzzy aggregation operators based on Bonferroni means and discuss their basic properties. Some existing operators can be viewed as their spec...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the ideal of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: i...

Hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), which allows the membership degree of an element to a set represented by several possible values, is considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain information in the process of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. In this paper, we develop a novel approach based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the maximizi...

This article addresses the possibility of incorporating intelligent decision support systems into reinsurance decision-making. This involves the insurance company and the reinsurance company, and is negotiated through reinsurance intermediaries. The article proposes a decision flow to model the reinsurance design and selection process. This article focuses on adopting more than one optimality c...

In multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems, ranking the alternatives is an important step for making best decision. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) are a powerful tool expressing uncertainty and vagueness in MADM problems. However, existing methods IFNs do not consider probabilistic dominance relationship between alternatives, which can lead to inconsistent inaccurate rankings. t...

insurance companies are important economic institutions in each country and support other economic institutions and good performance of them has an effective role in economic boom. insurance companies to achieve strong and effective performance must be aware of the environment, the competitor and their performance and carry out necessary actions with regard to this information. in this study, t...

In the current work, a framework is presented for amine solvent selection in gas treating process. Since the appropriate decision making in this field affects the capital and operational costs, multi attribute decision making (MADM) techniques were used to rank alternatives. The determination of criteria and alternatives is the most important aspect in the MADM. Criteria were divided into two c...

In smart parking environments, how to choose suitable parking facilities with various attributes to satisfy certain criteria is an important decision issue. Based on the multiple attributes decision making (MADM) theory, this study proposed a smart parking guidance algorithm by considering three representative decision factors (i.e., walk duration, parking fee, and the number of vacant parking ...

In this paper we present a Quantified SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analytical method which provides more detailed and quantified data for SWOT analysis. The Quantified SWOT analytical method adopts the concept of Multiple-Attribute Decision Making (MADM), which uses a multi-layer scheme to simplify complicated problems, and thus is able to perform SWOT analysis on sev...
