Nowadays, project selection is a vital decision in many organizations. Because competition among research projects in order to gain more budgets and to attain new scientific domain has increased. Due to multiple objectives and budgeting restrictions for academic research projects have led to the use of expert system for decision making by academic and research centers. The existing methods suff...

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 ...

DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...

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...

The present paper describes some basic elements of the software system developed (called MultiDecision-1), which consists of two separate parts (the systems MKA-1 and MKO-1) and which is designed to support decision makers in solving different multicriteria analysis and multicriteria optimization problems. The class of the problems solved, the system structure, the operation with the interface ...

CAMEX is an expert system designed to plan machining processes for CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) cutting machines. At the present state of development it is constrained to parts for which 2 l/2 D description is sufficient. For this kinds of parts, CAMEX is able to read a drawing of a workpiece from an ordinary CAD file, to understand its 3-dimensional structure and generate a plan workpi...

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.
