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...

Choquet integral has proved to be an effective aggregation model in multiple criteria decision analysis when interactions between criteria have to be taken into consideration. Recently, some generalizations of Choquet integral have been proposed to take into account more complex forms of interaction. This is the case of the bipolar Choquet integral and of the level dependent Choquet integral. T...

This paper extends the multicriteria decision paradigm to the heuristic search domain in a systematic way. A useful formal definition of multicriteria heuristic graph search problems is provided. Then the fundamental issues in multicriteria search are described in detail and a general framework is developed. Several new procedures are presented and analyzed for the usual multicriteria decision ...

This paper formulates the performance evaluation of cloud services as a multicriteria group decision making problem, and presents a fuzzy multicriteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of cloud services. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to model the inherent subjectiveness and imprecision of the performance evaluation process. An effective algorit...

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the use of fuzzy measures and integrals as aggregation operators in multicriteria decision making. These techniques have been widely used on an ad hoc basis, but with no ax-iomatization. It is possible to obtain preference representation theorems in multicriteria decision making problems, relying on a formal parallelism between decision under uncer...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of multicriteria lotteries. The interest of this lies in the fact that decision under uncertainty and multicriteria decision making are formally equivalent when the set of states of the world is nite in the uncertainty framework. Using this analogy, together with an extension of the Anscombe-Aumann representation theorem to the non-additive case due to Wak...

It is very important to identify, preserve, and transfer knowledge to those who need it within firm. However, the identification of knowledge and especially tacit knowledge is a complex process because knowledge cannot be measured quantitatively. In this paper we present an approach for inducing a set of collective decision rules representing a generalized description of the preferential inform...

A decision-maker driven modeling and bottom-up decision making methodology is presented in the context of a service sector system performing under uncertainty. The methodology makes use of stochastic analysis and multicriteria decision making. Complete computations are included.
