The unrestricted consumption of fossil fuels negatively impacts the economic, social and environmental aspects, observed from a sustainable perspective. Therefore, it is necessary to develop adopt skills that enable monitoring mitigation risks environment. In view this, we propose method with multiple approaches emphasizing three-dimensional perspective energy by diesel engines, which represent...

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 article addresses morphological approaches to design of modular systems. The following methods are briefly described: (i) basic version of morphological analysis (MA), (ii) modification of MA as method of closeness to ideal point(s), (iii) reducing of MA to linear programming, (iv) multiple choice problem, (v) quadratic assignment problem, (vi) Pareto-based MA (i.e., revelation of Pareto-ef...

In this paper we describe the data for five real applications of multicriteria methods in the context of environmental problems. The applications are: (1) the choice of a solid waste management system for the Uusimaa region, Finland, (2) for the Jämsä region, Finland, (3) the Oulu region, Finland, (4) locating a waste treatment facility in the Savonlinna region, Finland, and (5) choosing among ...

The paper describes some basic approaches to detection of bottlenecks in composite (modular) systems. The following basic system bottlenecks detection problems are examined: (1) traditional quality management approaches (Pareto chart based method, multicriteria analysis as selection of Pareto-efficient points, and/or multicriteria ranking), (2) selection of critical system elements (critical co...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of multicriteria lotteries. The interest of this lies in the fact that decision under uncertainty and multicriteria decision making are formally equivalent when the set of states of the world is nite in the uncertainty framework. Using this analogy, together with an extension of the Anscombe-Aumann representation theorem to the non-additive case due to Wak...

One of the main differences of evaiuation models is between monetary and non-monetary evaiuation. Cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis are well-known examples of a monetary evaiuation. In the past decades, the degraded state of the natural environment has become a key issue, and it is increasingly taken for granted that environmental and resource problems generally have at leas...

In this paper we investigate properties of multicriteria methods that are used for building land-use suitability assessment criteria. We identify and describe fundamental properties that are of interest in the land-use suitability analysis and the design of suitability maps. The existing multicriteria methods can be evaluated from the standpoint of their ability to support the desirable propert...

In this paper the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is applied to the selection of photovoltaic (PV) solar power projects. These projects follow a long management and execution process from plant site selection to plant start-up. As a consequence, there are many risks of time delays and even of project stoppage. In the case study presented in this paper a top manager of an important Spanish compan...
