Now-a-days software manufacturing companies usually try to capture market share with rapid software development. Actually the development of high quality software products can decrease cost by reducing rework and increasing productivity. For that, reason selection of software projects is an important task. Several factors come into consideration while selection of proper project for a specified...

Globalization of business and the competitiveness of manufacturing have motivated companies to improve the facilities to respond to the market requirements. Machine tool selection plays a major role in the improvement of productivity, flexibility in uncertain manufacturing. The objective of this study is to present the simple approach for machine tool selection based on the integration of consi...

Every complex problem now days require multicriteria decision making to get to the desired solution. Numerous Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches have evolved over recent time to accommodate various application areas and have been recently explored as alternative to solve complex software engineering problems. Most widely used approach is Analytic Hierarchy Process that combines ma...

In recent years, much more natural disasters, public health events and a variety of disasters, accidents have occurred. This paper proposes an index system for the evaluation of the performance of emergency logistics. Performance evaluation of a group of entities is frequently based on the values of several attributes and usually requires the weights of the attributes to be set in advance. Afte...

Treemaps, a visualization method for large hierarchical data spaces, are used to augment the capabilities of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for decision-making. Two direct manipulation tools, presented metaphorically as a “pump” and a “hook,” were developed and applied to the treemap to support AHP sensitivity analysis. Users can change the importance of criteria dynamically on the two-di...

The rotation of starting pitchers is a strategic issue which has a significant impact on the performance of a professional team. Choosing an optimal starting pitcher from among many alternatives is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this study, a model using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is ...

In stereotype-based recommendation systems, user profiles are represented as an affinity vector of stereotypes. Upon the registration of new users, the system needs to assign the new users to existing stereotypes. The AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology can be used for initial elicitation of user preferences. However, using the AHP procedure as-is will require the user to respond to a ...

Vendor selection problem is believed to be a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem which has been a growing research area since past few decades. Several effective techniques have already been proposed by researchers and practitioners to evaluate the suppliers/vendors. Among these Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is assumed to be the mostly exploited method due to its strong ability of ...

Teaching quality is the lifeblood of college survival and development, and improving the teaching quality is the eternal theme of teaching management. To establish teaching quality monitoring system is an important measure to guarantee improvement of the teaching quality. And the teaching quality evaluation is an effective way to improve the teaching quality. By reasonable teaching evaluation, ...

decision makers in allocating limited resources to strategic investment such as marketing, positioning, and so on. In general , AHP uses information from the literature and empirical experiences to define a general structure, and implements pairwise comparison information from decision makers to model decision making. Satty's (1980) AHP is a pairwise comparison procedure designed to capture rel...
