Software selection is not a well-defined or structured decision problem. Lai et al. [5] uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to solve a Multimedia authoring systems (MAS) selection problem. However, the AHP method is difficult to obtain a convincing consistency index when the number of attributes or alternatives is increased. Hence, this paper applies the fuzzy preference relation (...

This paper presents a fuzzy optimization model to solve multicriteria decision making (MCDM) systems based on a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). To deal with the imprecise judgments of decision makers, a fuzzy AHP decision making model is proposed as an evaluation tool, where the expert’s comparison judgments are translated into fuzzy numbers. Unlike the conventional fuzzy AHP meth...

Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used for a variety of applications such as supplier selection, customer requirements assessment and the like. The vast majority of the applications, however, were found avoiding the use of sophisticated approaches for fuzzy AHP such as fuzzy least squares method while using a simple extent analysis for the sake of simplicity. The extent ana...

There are a number of decision making problems in which Geographical Information System (GIS) has employed to organize and facilitate the procedure of analyzing the problem. These GIS-based decision problems which typically include a number of different criteria and alternatives are generally analyzed by Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).Different locations within a geographical area repre...

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a multiple criteria decision making tools especially in the problems with spatial nature or GIS-based. In addition this study treats the steps AHP, its manner to apply and its weaknesses and strengths and ultimately the fuzzy modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) which is proposed after that the concepts like of fuzziness, uncertainty and vagueness ...

In a paper by Chang [D.Y. Chang, Applications of the extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP, European Journal of Operational Research 95 (1996) 649–655], an extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP was proposed to obtain a crisp priority vector from a triangular fuzzy comparison matrix. It is found that the extent analysis method cannot estimate the true weights from a fuzzy comparison matrix and has l...

-The multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems with fuzzy preference information on alternatives are essential problems of the importance of weighting and ranking. In order to solve this problem, Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are coupled to form a new approach named Fuzzy-AHP.This method is different from the traditional FAHP,which used to facil...

In this paper, the definition of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) is given, then based on the aspect of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) formed by priority weights approximatives actual intuitionistic fuzzy complementary judgment matrix(IFCJM), a least deviation priority method for intuitio...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is very popular method in the field of decision-making today. While one of the most natural extensions of AHP using fuzzy theory is to employ a reciprocal matrix with fuzzy-valued entries, some of the present authors proposed the fuzzy constraint-based approach before. In this paper, we consider about weights for fuzzy constraint-based approach and propose a kin...

This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...
