the aim of the current review wasto study the existing knowledge about decision-making and to identify and describe validated training tools.a comprehensive literature review was conducted by using the following keywords: decision-making, emergencies, disasters, crisis management, training, exercises, simulation, validated, real-time, command and control, communication, collaboration, and multi...

How to quantitatively compare the performance of different algorithms is one of the most important issues in multi-objective optimization. There are a number of metrics for evaluating the performance of a multi-objective optimizer that approximates the whole efficient front. However, for evaluating the quality of a preferred subset of the efficient front, the existing metrics are inadequate. In...

aphasia diagnosis is a challenging medical diagnostic task due to the linguistic uncertainty and vagueness, large number of measurements with imprecision, inconsistencies in the definition of aphasic syndromes, natural diversity and subjectivity in test objects as well as in options of experts who diagnose the disease. in this paper we present a new self-organized multi agent system that diagno...

in this research, we address the application of uncertaintyprogramming to design a multi-site, multi-product, multi-period,closed-loop supply chain (clsc) network. in order to make theresults of this article more realistic, a clsc for a case study inthe iron and steel industry has been explored. the presentedsupply chain covers three objective functions: maximization ofprofit, minimization of n...

this paper will introduce a new method to obtain the order weightsof the ordered weighted averaging (owa) operator. we will first show therelation between fuzzy quantifiers and neat owa operators and then offer anew combination of them. fuzzy quantifiers are applied for soft computingin modeling the optimism degree of the decision maker. in using neat operators,the ordering of the inputs is not...

Financial ratios provide useful quantitative financial information about company performance. Most of the economical, industrial, financial or political decision problems are multi-criteria. The application of multi criteria decision making methods significantly improves the robustness of financial analysis and business decisions in general. In this study, based on six wellknown financial perfo...

energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. in this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. then a roadmap has been cr...

in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...
