Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the methods that popularly has been used in solving personnel selection problem. Alternatives, criteria, and weights are some of the fundamental aspects in MCDM that need to be defined clearly in order to achieve a good result. Apart from these aspects, fuzzy data has to take into consideration that it may arise from unobtainable and incomplete inf...

Fuzzy Description Logics are logics which allow to deal with structured knowledge affected by vagueness. Although a relatively important amount of work has been carried out in the last years, fuzzy DLs are open to be extended with several features worked out in other fields. In this work, we start addressing the problem of incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) into fuzzy Descripti...

Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is widely used in ranking one or more alternatives from a set of available alternatives with respect to multiple criteria. Inspired by MCDM which are methods to systematically evaluate alternatives, we propose a new Fuzzy TOPSIS for evaluating outsourcing software companies both using subjective and objective weights. While crisp data are inadequate to m...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) aims at giving people a knowledge recommendation concerning a set of objects evaluated from multiple preference-ordered attributes. The Superiority and Inferiority Ranking (SIR) is a generation of the well-known outranking approachPROMETHEE, which is an efficient approach for MCDM. As the traditional MCDM approach, however, it faces the obstacle in handl...

There has been a growing interest and activity in the area of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), especially in the last 20 years. Modeling and optimization methods have been developed in both crisp and fuzzy environments. The overwhelming majority of approaches for finding best compromise solutions to MCDM problems do not make use of the interdependences among the objectives. However, as...

The TODIM method, which is an acronym in Portuguese for Iterative Multi-criteria Decision Making, is one of the first Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) founded on prospect Theory. One of the strong attributes is its capacity to treat risk MCDM problems. Nevertheless, TODIM in its original formulation is not able to take into account uncertain information of the decision matrix. In order to ...

Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) that deals with multiple criteria in decision-making environments has been explicitly applied to various decision-making fields. Nevertheless, the critical issues of uncertainty and inaccuracy generally and gradually exists in the majority of the MCDM processes because of (1) prejudice and preference of decision-makers or experts as well as (2) the insuf...

The investment of mutual funds which investors are often required evaluating the investment strategies according to their own subjective preferences in terms of numerical values from various criteria. This situation can be regarded as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The purpose of this study attempts to propose an alternative approach, fuzzy multiple criteria decision ...
