This memo discusses Flow Attribute Notification Protocol (FANP), which is a protocol between neighbor nodes for the management of cut-through packet forwarding functionalities. In cut-through packet forwarding, a router doesn’t have to perform conventional IP packet processing for received packets. FANP indicates mapping information between a datalink connection and a packet flow to the neighbo...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the risk level for both intra-organizational cultures and for different industries in implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This study adopts the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) method to assess ERP implementation risks, which were categorized into four dimensions: management and execution, software system, users, and technology p...

 Abstract— Customers can easily change their GSM operator after accepting the legal regulation on moving the number to the new operator in Turkey. In this study, fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) is used to rank for three Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) operators. Five main criteria are described and also sub-criteria are determined. Because of the pairwise comparisons is li...

This paper considers a special case for logistics activities in Turkey: a joint selection of customs broker agency and international road transportation firm. For this purpose a decision-making team has been constituted, including members of logistics and finance departments and an academic. They determined related quantitative and qualitative criteria for the selection process. To cover the va...

In this paper, a method for deriving a group priority vector in the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) is proposed. By introducing importance weights of multiple decision makers (DMs) based on their experiences, the Fuzzy Preferences Programming Method (FPP) is extended to a fuzzy group prioritization problem in the FANP. Additionally, fuzzy pair-wise comparison judgments are presented rathe...

This paper presents a comparison between fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) and the fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) as two well-known techniques to model causality during the process of assessing readiness of an organisation to implement a change. FCM is well known generally, but has been rarely used in assessing readiness for change. In this paper, we demonstrate several advantages of FCM for ch...
