Small hydropower projects (SHP) are emerging as solution for sustainable, eco-friendly, long term and costeffective water or renewable energy resource for future. Selecting the appropriate small hydropower project site and its parameters in which to invest is a critical task involving different factors as each project is unique and site specific. Hence such decision-making can be viewed as a mu...

assessment of risks is a key task in the project management. in this process, risk breakdown structure (rbs) approach can be utilized to identify project relevant risks. in the previous classical method, only limited number of attributes is considered in the evaluation that can cause unreliable results. in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce and involve a relatively comprehensive ...

projects execution is an important way to implement organizational strategies, especially in the project-based organizations. in such organizations, the decision-makers usually encounter a problem of the project portfolio selection. of course, regarding the decision-makers’ risk attitude, they tend to direct organizational resources toward projects with low threats and high opportunities. this ...

In the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. Selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. The multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literatur...

Financial portfolio optimization is a widely studied problem in mathematics, statistics, financial and computational literature. It adheres to determining an optimal combination of weights that are associated with financial assets held in a portfolio. In practice, portfolio optimization faces challenges by virtue of varying mathematical formulations, parameters, business constraints and complex...

risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. the conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response pl...

one of the most effective tools for decline cost and time, quality improvement and consequently project performance enhancement especially in construction projects, is value engineering. there are linguistic judgments in many cases of value engineering studies in construction projects such as interior design, mechanical installations design, and etc. therefore multiple attribute decision-making...

Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...
