In order to solve the group decision making problems with ordinal interval preference information, a new decision method is proposed based on VIKOR method. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, providing a maximum “group utility” for the “majority” and a minimum of an “individual regret” for the “opponent”, which is an effective tool in multi-attribute decisio...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) has developed to cope with the uncertainty of imprecise human thinking. In the present communication, new entropy and similarity measures for IVIFSs based on exponential function are presented and compared with the existing measures. Numerical results reveal that the proposed information measures attain the higher association with the existing me...

Five approaches in conflict resolution are distinguished, based on cooperativeness and aggressiveness in resolving conflict. Compromise based on cooperativeness is emphasized here as a solution in conflict resolution. Cooperative game theory oriented towards aiding the conflict resolution is considered and the compromise value for TU(transferable utility)-game is presented. The method VIKOR cou...

The selection of an optimum location for the installation a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant is very vital to its overall performance. Any selected should suitably satisfy some favourable criteria such as high direct normal irradiance, ambient temperature, lower wind speed, level cloud cover and availability source water. In this paper, optimal location(s) CSP in Ghana achieved using Analyt...

Objective evaluation in problems considering many, often conflicting criteria is challenging for the decision-maker. This paper presents an approach based on MCDA methods to objectify evaluations camera selection problem. The proposed includes three methods, TOPSIS, VIKOR, COMET, and two criterion weighting techniques. Two ranking similarity coefficients were used compare resulting rankings of ...

With the background of implementing carbon peaking and neutralization, identifying methods to realize energy-saving reduction effectively has become an important issue in intelligent energy-conservation manufacturing industry. During process achieving this goal, determining optimal location for a low-carbon industrial park is foremost decision-making problem corporations’ energy-efficient devel...

Recent advancements in information technology have made cloud computing one of the most prominent technologies. It is favorable for bundle services that it provides to its users. Since there a wide range service providers (CSPs) with various services, challenging user select CSP can meet all requirements. In this paper, we propose composite model, which handled by agent, identify best services/...

In this paper, we will extend the VIKOR (VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje) method to multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) with interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs). Firstly, the basic concepts of INNs are briefly presented. The method first aggregates all individual decision-makers’ assessment information based on an interval neutrosophic weighted averaging (INWA...

This study evaluates an appropriate business model for e-book firms in Taiwan. We apply expert questionnaires to calculate the weights, which contain five criteria, namely, business strategy (BS), finance characteristics (FC), market characteristics (MC), quality measurements of product and service (QS) and implementation (IM) (BCCSM) for the capability of developing the firms’ business. Then, ...
