Planning in partially observable domains is a notoriously difficult problem. However, in many real-world scenarios, planning can be simplified by decomposing the task into a hierarchy of smaller planning problems which, can then be solved independently of one another. Several approaches, mainly dealing with fully observable domains, have been proposed to optimize a plan that decomposes accordin...

Enhancing sanitation services is a major challenge for sustainable development and plans. This work aims at developing vulnerability hotspot mapping improving provision in Jordan based on multi-weighted criteria model. Multiple spatial, physical, demographic, social, economic, data were collected compiled using GIS. We also considered experts’ stakeholders’ opinions to determine the necessary i...

Software selection is not a well-defined or structured decision problem. Lai et al. [5] uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to solve a Multimedia authoring systems (MAS) selection problem. However, the AHP method is difficult to obtain a convincing consistency index when the number of attributes or alternatives is increased. Hence, this paper applies the fuzzy preference relation (...

In this paper, we introduce a framework to guide decision makers evaluating information security policy performance. It is motivated by lack of adequate decision making mechanism with broader scopes and easy to use for the decision makers. The framework, which adopts Analytic hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology, is developed into a four level hierarchy (goal, criteria, sub-criteria, and alterna...

In spite of the implemented renovation plans, and having a long history and great capabilities, this neighborhood couldn&rsquot have any progress in constant spatial development, and we are still witnessing a horizontal expansion in th...

Plant location selection invariably has a significant impact on the performance of many companies or manufacturing systems. In this paper, a novel methodology is structured to solve this problem. The two decision making methods, namely AHP and VIKOR, are integrated in order to make the best use of information available, either implicitly or explicitly. In addition, the Delphi method is utilized...
