The paper focuses on composing of discrete information units (items) into information complexes in hypertext systems. We consider basic operations (analysis, comparison, approximation, aggregation), combinatorial models (multicriteria ranking, knapsack problem with compatibility of items, multiple choice problem, morphological clique problem). Combinatorial information design on the base of mor...

This paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based multicriteria decision analysis approach for mapping accessibility patterns of housing development sites in Canmore, Alberta. The approach involves integrating two multicriteria decision methods (Analytical Hierarchy Process and Ordered Weighted Averaging) in a raster GIS environment, and incorporating the linguistic quantifier con...

Faced with international competition, industrial production increasingly requires implementation conditions which, in some cases, lead to seek new techniques for workshop control. This is the case when it is asked to establish Just in Time management in a Job Shop having the characteristics of working with small series. A new approach for the organization of the ‘control’ function in such a con...

Decision-making problems (location selection) often involve a complex decision-making process in which multiple requirements and uncertain conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. In evaluating the suitability of alternatives, quantitative/qualitative assessments are often required to deal with uncertainty, subjectiveness and imprecise data, which are best represented with...

The evaluation of the performance of mutual funds (MFs) has been a very interesting research topic not only for researchers, but also for managers of financial, banking and investment institutions. In this paper, an integrated methodological framework for the evaluation of MF performance is proposed. The proposed methodology is based on the combination of discrete and continuous multicriteria d...

Multicriteria decision analysis is employed in a fourstage (preprocessing, beat classification, window characterization and episode definition) ischemia diagnosis system, named HySMID. Beat classification is realized using a multicriteria approach where each beat is compared to already classified category prototypes and the similarity is computed in a fuzzy way. The comparison is based upon fiv...

We further extend our approach to the linguistic summarization of time series (cf. Kacprzyk, Wilbik and Zadro ny) in which an approach based on a calculus of linguistically quantified propositions is employed, and the essence of the problem is equated with a linguistic quantifier driven aggregation of partial scores (trends). We proceed towards a multicriteria analysis of summaries by assuming ...

The paper describes combinatorial synthesis approach with interval multset estimates of system elements for modeling, analysis, design, and improvement of a modular telemetry system. Morphological (modular) system design and improvement are considered as composition of the telemetry system elements (components) configuration. The solving process is based on Hierarchical Morphological Multicrite...

In [Timonin, 2016] we developed a general axiomatic treatment of a popular multicriteria decision model the Choquet integral. This paper contains extensions of our results to the particular interesting special cases of the Choquet integral, analysis of some aspects of the Choquet integral model learning, and a discussion of the applications of our results in decision theory.

Over the last 10 years, multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) has become an essential subfield of research in GIScience (Malczewski 2006a), and might be considered to improve some domains in real world (e.g. business strategies and national planning). Some theories, such as OWA (Malczewski 2006b), AHP (Saaty 2008) or fuzzy quantifier (Malczewski 2006b), were introduced and applied in order to ...
