The paper describes the use of hierarchical decision making in information engineering on the base of the following: (i) multicriteria description and analysis of main components (hardware, software, algorithms, etc.); (ii) basic discrete decision making problems (multicriteria selection, multicriteria composing (synthesis) of composite systems from elements with taking into account their compa...

Many managerial decisions involve consideration of more than a single criterion. Despite the development of multicriteria decision models (MCI)M), decision support systems (DSS), and group decision support systems (GDSS), there is inadequate success in supporting multicriteria decision making. This study explores the possibility of embedding decision guidance within MCDM GDSS. We outline guidel...

As a hot topic in supply chain management, fuzzy method has been widely used in logistics center location selection to improve the reliability and suitability of the logistics center location selection with respect to the impacts of both qualitative and quantitative factors. However, it does not consider the consistency and the historical assessments accuracy of experts in predecisions. So this...

In the field of multicriteria decision aid, considerable attention has been paid to supervised classification problems, especially to so-called sorting problems, where an order is assumed on the predefined classes. Recently, some non-supervised multicriteria classification procedures, also known as multicriteria clustering procedures, have been proposed aiming to discover data structures from a...

The purpose of this investigation is directed towards summarizing and researching of models for decision making support in multicriteria problems under uncertainties from fuzzy type. The models simulate (approximate) human decision making by means of applying of the fuzzy sets theory. Multicriteria fuzzy decision making problems will be considered in cases of fuzziness present in initial inform...

IntroductIon Decision support systems (DSSs) have been researched extensively over the years with the purpose of aiding the decision maker (DM) in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing enabled by the advent of the Internet combined with BLOCKINartificial-intelligence BLOCKIN(AI) BLOCKINtechniques, BLOCKINhave extended the reach of DSSs to assist with decisions in BLOCKINreal BLOCKINtime ...

The article addresses combinatorial evolution and forecasting of communication protocol for wireless sensor networks (ZigBee). Morphological tree structure (a version of and-or tree) is used as a hierarchical model for the protocol. Three generations of ZigBee protocol are examined. A set of protocol change operations is generated and described. The change operations are used as items for forec...
