The study applied Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to analyze the casual relationship and mutual impact level between the control items of the information security management system. Three core control items of the information security management system are found, Security Policy (SC1), Access Control (SC7) and Human Resources Security (SC4) respectively. They can be pr...

This paper presents the procedure for logistics system scenario selection for the central business district (CBD) of the city in the phase of significant urban changes. Scenarios are defined in accordance with the overall logistics concept of the city. Conflicting goals of stakeholders (residents, shippers and receivers, logistics providers and city government) generate a vast number of criteri...

The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

This study demonstrates how a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) threshold value can be quickly and reasonably determined in the process of combining DEMATEL and decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB) models. Models are combined to identify the key factors of a complex problem. This paper presents a case study of a food and beverage information system as an example....
