Data Centers (DCs) are complex organizational and technical infrastructures that assure the performance and reliability of modern information and communication systems. The high installation and operations costs of DCs and the stringent requirements regarding reliability and safety require a close attention to the location of this type of facility. This paper proposes a Multi-Criteria Decision ...

To implant sustainable development goals, land-use planners need holistic indicators. An accessibility index appears particularly important but its evaluation focuses still highly on the economic dimension. Geographical Information Systems and Multicriteria Analysis allow us to promote a holistic definition of accessibility. GIS is used to describe the territory in terms of the transport networ...

This paper addresses the situation where a group wishes to cooperatively develop a common multicriteria evaluation model to sort actions (projects, candidates) into classes. It is based on an aggregation/disaggregation approach for the ELECTRE TRI method, implemented on the Decision Support System IRIS. We provide a methodology in which the group discusses how to sort some exemplary actions (po...

Purpose Making techniques PROMETHEE, direction of research in this emerging field. Design/Methodology/Approach: literature related to MCDM techniques PROMETHEE, ELECTRE, VIKOR and TOPSIS. Literature has been segregated to understand various issues and work related to MCDM techniques PROMETHEE, ELECTRE, VIKOR and TOPSIS. A detailed review is used to sort out the literature and develop the resear...

We introduce the principle of robust ordinal regression to group decision. We consider the main multiple criteria decision methods to which robust ordinal regression has been applied, i.e., UTA and GRIP methods, dealing with choice and ranking problems, UTADIS , dealing with sorting (ordinal classification) problems, and ELECTRE , being an outranking method applying robust ordinal regression to...

Evaluating and comparing the threats and vulnerabilities associated with territorial zones according to multiple criteria (industrial activity, population, etc.) can be a time-consuming task and often requires the participation of several experts and decision makers. Rather than a direct evaluation of these zones, building a risk evaluation scale and using it in a formal procedure permits to au...

The ELECTRE I is one of the most extensively used methods to solve multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. In this paper, we propose a novel AHPbased ELECTRE I method of reliability design scheme decision for computer numerical control (CNC) machine. Based on the AHP method combined with ELECTRE I, the decision model is built to select the optimal design scheme. The AHP method is app...

The purpose of this paper is to extend the ELECTRE method based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets in decision analysis and experimental analysis on the proposed methods’ contradiction rate. We identify different kinds of concordance and discordance sets, e. g. concordance, midrange concordance, weak concordance, discordance, midrange discordance and weak discordance for each ordering at the proposed...

Application of Group Decision Support System (GDSS) can assist for delivering the decision of various opinions (preference) cancer detection based on the preferences of various expertise. In this paper we propose ELECTRE-Entropy for GDSS Modeling. We propose entropy weighting for each criteria under ELECTRE Method.ELECTRE is one method in MultiAttribute Decision Making (MADM). Modeling of Group...
