Usability and guessability are two conflicting criteria in assessing the suitability of an image to be used as password in the recognition based graphical authentication systems (RGBSs). We present the first work in this area that uses a new approach, which effectively integrates a series of techniques in order to rank images taking into account the values obtained for each of the dimensions of...

In order to process the assessment information more exactly and make the decision result more understandable in linguistic setting, a hybrid approach integrating OWA aggregation into VIKOR for multiple attributive group decision making in 2-tuple linguistic setting is proposed. In the method, the OWA is used to aggregate the linguistic assessment information. According to the ideas of VIKOR, th...

this paper processes a combined method, based on vikor and data envelopment analysis (dea) to select the units with most efficiency. we utilize the vikor as compromise solution method. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. the problem involves belief parameters in the solution procedure. first, the alt...

As a result of the inability people to meet their demands in face increasing demands, tend have private health insurance addition general offered as public service. Due trend taking out sustainable insurance, number plans market has increased significantly. Therefore, may be confronted by wide range plan options. However, there is limited information about how analyze policies protect terms ben...

Interval number is a useful tool to handle the uncertainty brought by human factors in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. When faced with MCDM problems in real-world, the experts may be uncomfortable giving precise upper and lower bounds of the interval ratios on multi-criteria. Based on the reciprocal judgment matrices given by the experts through pairwise comparisons, the satisfac...

Joint Admission Control (JAC) handles the admis-sion of all new or handoff service requests in the mod-ern heterogeneous networks and allocates the required resources and guarantees the QoS constraints for the service. JAC is a multicriteria problem in nature, and the usage of MCDM system is mandatory to decrease the influence of the dissimilar, imprecise, and contra-dictory measurements for th...

Since it was firstly introduced by Torra and Narukawa (The 18th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, Jeju Island, Korea, 2009, pp. 1378–1382), the hesitant fuzzy set has attracted more and more attention due to its powerfulness and efficiency in representing uncertainty and vagueness. This paper extends the classical VIKOR (vlsekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje in serb...

In recent years, because of the high potential for insurability in Turkey and the rapid improvement of insurance sector, foreign investors are interested in Turkish insurance market. Since insurability rate has reached saturation point in their countries, foreign investors tended to make investments in Turkey and start to purchase local insurance companies in Turkey. In this paper we analyze fi...

The main objective of the present study is to evaluate multicriteria group decision-making problem in risk management for technological innovation projects (TIPs) under dual-probabilistic linguistic information. suggested approach based on an enhanced dual probabilistic linguistic-vise kriterijumska optimizacija kompromisno resenje (DPL-VIKOR) technique assess TIP employing conventional VIKOR i...

Online review is a hot topic in the field of electronic commerce. In this paper, a framework for evaluating the quality of online reviews is proposed. First, the features of online reviews are analyzed. And then, the VIKOR method is chosen to evaluate the online reviews, which are then sorted by the evaluating results. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the method.
