in this study, sustainable management of saravan park of gilan was planned in the form a decision support system model in 3 periods of 10 years for different states of park and considering the economics, ecological and social criteria. in the first, using fuzzy analytic hierarchy programming, desirable level of economics, ecological and social criteria in their composite utility value in differ...

A hierarchical approach, in which a highdimensional model is decomposed into series of low-dimensional sub-models connected in cascade, has been shown to be an effective way to overcome the ‘curse of dimensionality’ problem. The upwards propagation of information through a cascade hierarchy of Linguistic Decision Trees (LDTs) based on label semantics forms a process of cascade decision making. ...

Decision making in large scale urban environments is critical for many applications involving continuous distribution of resources and utilization of infrastructure, such as ambient lighting control and traffic management. Traditional decision making methods involve extensive human participation, are expensive, and inefficient and unreliable for hard-to-predict situations. Modern technology, in...

This paper proposes a simple analytical model called M time-scale Markov Decision Process (MMDP) for hierarchically structured sequential decision making processes, where decisions in each level in the M -level hierarchy are made in M different time-scales. In this model, the state space and the control space of each level in the hierarchy are non-overlapping with those of the other levels, res...

The decision to recruit manpower in an organization requires clear identification of the criteria (attributes) that distinguish successful from unsuccessful performance. The choice of appropriate attributes or criteria in different levels of hierarchy in an organization is a multi-criteria decision problem and therefore multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques can be used for prioritiza...
