This paper presents a fuzzy multicriteria group decision making approach for selecting information systems projects. The inherent subjectiveness and imprecision of the selection process is modeled by using linguistic terms characterized by triangular fuzzy numbers. To avoid the complex and unreliable process of comparing fuzzy numbers usually required in fuzzy multicriteria analysis, a new algo...

The paper describes the use of hierarchical decision making in information engineering on the base of the following: (i) multicriteria description and analysis of main components (hardware, software, algorithms, etc.); (ii) basic discrete decision making problems (multicriteria selection, multicriteria composing (synthesis) of composite systems from elements with taking into account their compa...

A multicriteria decision support system called MultiChoice is presented in the paper. It is intended to support decision makers in solving various multicriteria analysis problems. Different well-known methods and software systems are considered. The structure, the functions and the user interface of the system are described.

The integration of GIS and multicriteria decision analysis has attracted significant interest over the last 15 years or so. This paper surveys the GISbased multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) approaches using a literature review and classification of articles from 1990 to 2004. An electronic search indicated that over 300 articles appeared in refereed journals. The paper provides taxonom...

The paper presents a multicriteria decision support system, called MultiOptima. The system consists of three independent parts − MKA-2 system, MKO-2 system and LIOP-1 system and it is intended to support the decision maker in modelling and solving different problems of multicriteria analysis and linear and linear integer problems of single and multicriteria optimization. The class of the proble...

At present, the per capita generation of solid waste in Malaysia varies from 0.45 to 2kg/day depending on the economic status of an area. In general, the per capita generation rate is about 1kg/day. Even though 17,000 tonnes/day of solid waste is being generated, only 5% is being recycled. If this particular scenario continues without appropriate mitigation, Malaysia will be facing a serious pr...

Mutual fund investors are concerned with the selection of the best fund in terms of performance among the set of alternative funds. This paper proposes an innovative mutual funds performance evaluation measure in the context of multicriteria decision making. We implement a multicriteria methodology using stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis, on Greek domestic equity funds for the per...

Information security plays a significant role in recent information society. Increasing number and impact of cyber attacks on information assets have resulted the increasing awareness among managers that attack on information is actually attack on organization itself. Unfortunately, particular model for information security evaluation for management levels is still not well defined. In this stu...
