In this paper, we propose arrow decision logic (ADL), which combines the main features of decision logic and arrow logic. Decision logic represents and reasons about knowledge extracted from decision tables based on rough set theory, while arrow logic is the basic modal logic of arrows. The semantic models of ADL are pairwise comparison tables, which are useful in rough set-based multicriteria ...

Cooperative banks play an important role in the European banking system. This paper presents an evaluation of the efficiency and performance of a European cooperative banks. For this purpose an integrated approach is employed using both data envelopment analysis as well as a multicriteria evaluation methodology. Through data envelopment analysis the efficiency of the banks is evaluated under bo...

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 ...

Escherichia coli produces insulin, interferons, growth factors, exoand endoproducts, e.g. enzymes, etc. In this paper we present a new approach for multicriteria decision making – InterCriteria Analysis to mathematical modelling of a fermentation process. It is based on the apparatus of index matrices and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The approach for multicriteria analysis makes it possible to co...

Energy planning is a complex issue because of its multi-scale and multicriteria issues. In this contribution, a prospective analysis on the development of a multi-level and multicriteria decision-making structure dedicated to energy planning is developed. This analysis is based on an examination of the specificity of the energy supply chain as well as a state of the art aimed at classifying the...

A decision support concept (DSC) for sustainable management of the bottom trawl fleet was created in line with ecosystem-based management. It is based on principles that integrate ecological, social and techno-economic aspects of trawl fisheries in a multicriteria analysis approach. For the sake of greater transparency and improved stakeholder participation, elements of the proposed multicriter...

Ratings issued by credit rating agencies (CRAs) play an important role in the global financial environment. Among other issues, past studies have explored the potential for predicting these ratings using a variety of explanatory factors and modeling approaches. This paper describes a multicriteria classification approach that combines accounting data with a structural default prediction model i...

The interaction between a complex socio-economic environment and the extremely fast pace of development of new telecommunication technologies and services justifies the interest in using multicriteria evaluation in decision making processes associated with several phases of network planning and design. Based on an overview of current and foreseen evolutions in telecommunication network technolo...
