supplier evaluation and selection is complex which caused by the dynamic and fuzzy environment. current mcdm methods do not consider the nature of the environment that can affect the process of evaluation and ranking. the aim of this study is to propose a dynamic fuzzy hybrid mcdm method for evaluation, ranking and selection. the proposed method employs fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) f...

Contractor evaluation and selection is one of the most important decision making problems that many regulations and methods have been introduced for it. In Iran, "Planning and Management Organization" is responsible for classification and prequalification of contractors and due to this responsibility, this organization edit the Contractors Classification and Prequalification Regulation regularl...

Pre-investment evaluation of information system (IS) project proposals persists to be problematic and highly risky in practice. Numerous evaluation approaches and methodologies offered in the literature have not contributed to major improvements in practice. We propose here a radical departure from the dominant conceptions in IS evaluation literature by adopting Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to pr...

Selection of engineering consultants by bid price alone is considered problematic, as the quality of service provided by incapable or unsuitable consultants could in turn affect the time, cost and quality throughout the entire project life cycle. In view of the deficiencies of fee-based methods, project owners in many advanced countries now in favor of adopting Quality-Based Selection (QBS) app...

This paper describes the design and implementation of Level 2 and Level 3 evaluation procedures for the NSF CPATH τǫχνη project. Issues addressed include background, mandated evaluation parameters, cohort identification and selection, experiment design, instruments and evaluation timetables. Preliminary results of a ’dry run’ in the Fall 2008 semester are shown. Future efforts are indicated.

The selection and design of quality assurance (QA) methods for software development projects a) involves tradeoffs that are not always made explicit and b) the impacts of the selection decisions on project success and risks may be not well understood. Similar to SEI’s ATAM analysis technique for software architecture quality and risk evaluation, this paper introduces the ideas for QATAM, a tech...

EU-IST Integrated Project (IP) IST-2003-506826 SEKT Deliverable D3.4.2(WP3.4) PION is a framework for reasoning with inconsistent ontologies. Is is based on the concept of “selection functions” to obtain meaningful answers from a selection of the axioms of a given inconsistent ontology. In this document, we investigate several selection functions, test them with several large scale realistic on...
