This paper was initiated based on the conceptual framework of Ablution Function Mean Analysis relating to a phenomenon that impacts designer perception in developing new product development for religious-based design. Empirical observation user-designer exploring convergent process ablution design set up. The performed, perceptions verbalized, and different principles targeted were analyzed fro...

one of the important decisions which impacts all firms’ activities is the supplier selection problem. since the 1950s, several works have addressed this problem by treating different aspects and instances. in this paper, a combined multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) technique (ea-promethee) has been applied to implement a proper decision making. to this aim, after reviewing the theoretica...

in order to decrease the risks associated with the management of urban watersheds, the use of proper methods is an essential task to estimate the runoff with a high degree of confidence. time of concentration is one of factors that impacts on peak discharge and runoff volume. the objective of this study is to select the best method among the empirical formulas for estimating the time of concent...

the main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (fmadm) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. these criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. this paper proposes a method which combines th...

The importance of empirical studies in software engineering has been recognized by many researchers, but the number of empirical studies is relatively small compared to other disciplines. The quality of individual studies also has not been evaluated well enough to build up knowledge about empirical studies in that field and to provide guidelines for future studies. To investigate the current st...
