Multi-attribute concept design procedure of a generic naval vessel

Reengineering the Naval Ship Concept Design Process

Naval ship concept design is very much an “ad hoc” process. Selection of design concepts for assessment is guided primarily by experience, design lanes, rules-of-thumb, preference and imagination. Objective attributes are not adequately synthesized or presented to support efficient and effective decisions. Attributes are often qualitative, inconsistent, and not provided to design engineers in a...

A DEA-bases Approach for Multi-objective Design of Attribute Acceptance Sampling Plans

Acceptance sampling (AS), as one of the main fields of statistical quality control (SQC),involves a system of principles and methods to make decisions about accepting or rejecting alot or sample. For attributes, the design of a single AS plan generally requires determination ofsample size, and acceptance number. Numerous approaches have been developed foroptimally selection of design parameters...

Sensitivity Analysis in a Generic Multi-Attribute Decision Support System

This paper describes several possible sensitivity analyses associated with a generic multi-attribute Decision Support System, which is capable of considering all the steps in the Decision Analysis cycle and is aimed at aiding decision-makers in the choice of the most preferred alternative. The system evaluates the set of alternatives through an additive multiattribute utility function that allo...

Generic Attribute

This paper introduces generic attribute grammars which provide support for genericity, reusability and modularity in attribute grammars. A generic attribute grammar is a component that is easily reused, composed and understood. Attribute grammar based systems may be constructed out of a set of generic components, that can be analysed and compiled separately. We show how to generate deforestated...
