Many managerial decisions involve consideration of more than a single criterion. Despite the development of multicriteria decision models (MCI)M), decision support systems (DSS), and group decision support systems (GDSS), there is inadequate success in supporting multicriteria decision making. This study explores the possibility of embedding decision guidance within MCDM GDSS. We outline guidel...

In this contribution, it is introduced a linguistic dynamic multi-criteria decision-making model to solve decision problems in which time dimension is included in the solving process, and the decision-maker provides the assessments by means of linguistic terms. An illustrative example of linguistic dynamic multicriteria decision-making is exhibited.

One of the techniques used to support decisions in uncertain environments is the Fuzzy TOPSIS method. However, from crisp data, this method considers only one fuzzy set in their analysis, besides being a strictly mathematical optimization technique. This article proposes extensions to the original Fuzzy TOPSIS, exploring two distinct versions: to increase the method with the necessary resources...

The considered models describe multicriteria decision making when the information provided from different criteria is given as fuzzy relations. These models differ according to the kind of the criteria weights and the aggregation procedures to fuse the fuzzy relations. The properties of aggregated fuzzy relation required to decide some multicriteria problem is discussed.

This paper outlines how to compute community priority indices in the context of multicriteria decision making in community settings. A simple R function was developed and validated with community needs assessment data. Particularly, the first part of this paper briefly overviews the existing methods for priority setting and reviews the utility of a multicriteria decision-making approach for com...

In this paper we address the problem of bridging the application-network gap from a multicriteria decision making perspective. We have sought to use this approach to integrate results from our work on user-level Quality of Perception with the more technical characterization of Quality of Service. For this purpose, we apply the Multicriteria Decision-Making formalism by defining the criteria on ...

Fuzzy measures are monotonic set functions used for modelling strength of coalition of criteria in multicriteria decision-making. However, the practical application of fuzzy measures is difficult. The problem of fuzzy measures acquisition can be thought as an engineering problem. In our study, we have investigated the issue of fuzzy measures acquisition from an engineering perspective. Many met...
