Technique for Order preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a Multi Attribute DecisionMaking (MADM) technique employed in diverse disciplines for the prioritization of alternative options/solutions to a problem. Test vector compaction for analog fault detection is a field which is witnessing continuous growth and experimentation. This study suggests a novel TOPSIS-based approach ...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

People name search often returns a lot of Web pages containing the strings of personal names. Due to namesake, extracting target person attributes (such as birthday, occupation, affiliation, nationality, contact information, etc.) is expected to be helpful to differentiate documents related to different people and thus group documents related to the same person. This paper presents the methodol...

Vulnerability is an important criterion to assess the ethical justification of the inclusion of participants in research trials. Currently, vulnerability is often understood as an attribute inherent to a participant by nature of a diagnosed condition. Accordingly, a common ethical concern relates to the participant's decisionmaking capacity and ability to provide free and informed consent. We p...

A decision making process requires the values of conflicting objectives for alternatives and the selection of the best alternative according to the needs of decision makers. Multi-objective optimization methods may provide solution for this selection. In this paper it is aimed to present the laptop selection problem based on MOORA plus full multiplicative form (MULTIMOORA) and multi-objective o...

Personalized ranking is a typical task of recommender systems. It can provide a set of items for specific user and help recommender systems more correctly direct each item to its user. Recently, as the dramatically increasing social media, an entity, i.e., user and item, usually associates with multiple kinds of characterized information, e.g., explicit ratings, implicit feedbacks, and multi-ty...

Abstract In this paper we discuss the problem of coordinating resource allocations among independent high-level goals, called missions, for scalable, hierarchical, Dynamic Resource Management (DRM) in a Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) system. The DRM goal is to dynamically allocate shared resources to simultaneously manage multiple Quality of Service (QoS) concerns among the missions that ...

Multiple-attribute decision making in the presence of independence between attributes, the shortage of quantitative value of one attribute can be compensated with that of other attributes. But, many a times, this is not true. On another side, the quantitative value of one attribute is treated as equally important in different intervals. However, this violates the law of diminishing marginal rat...
