Availability of finite set of alternative solution for any problem tends to make decision making an inevitable part of today’s opportunistic world. Generally Decision making is made based on various perspectives like psychological, cognitive, normative means. In all situations Cost-Benefit analysis forms the key reason for decision making. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods make the ...

Resource Provisioning in a Cloud Computing Environment ensures flexible and dynamic access of the cloud resources to the end users. The Multi-Objective Decision Making approach considers assigning priorities to the decision alternatives in the environment. Each alternative represents a cloud resource defined in terms of various characteristics termed as decision criteria. The provisioning objec...

Any decision is closely linked to the quality and availability of information. Innovative methodologies are proposed to help decisions based on imperfect information provided by more or less reliable and conflicting sources in uncertain context. These methods combine new uncertainty theories and multicriteria decision making. The ER-MCDA methodology associates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AH...

Abstract Supiturang is one of the villages in Kecamatan Pronojiwo, Kabupaten Lumajang that sits on lahar flow path Semeru Volcano. The village constantly faces a lahar-flood hazard, inevitably impacting local community. Therefore, this paper aims to map hazard using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. main parameters are 1) slope (%), 2) distance from drainage (m), 3) elevation (m ASL), ...

The recent studies signify the growing concern of researchers towards monitoring and measuring sustainability performance at various levels in many fields, including healthcare. However, there is no agreed approach to assessing health systems. Moreover, social indicators are less developed succinct. Therefore, with this work, authors seek map sustainable reference values healthcare propose a co...

On the basis of different expert knowledge structure, from the greatest factors in power limiting distribution, using the method combining Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy set theory, a fuzzy comprehensive group decision model for multi-objects and multi-zones power limiting distribution in peak load shifting is built up. The problem of power limiting distribution between multi-zone...

In this paper, we have proposed a low cost optimized solution for the movement of a three-arm manipulator using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A scheme is given for optimizing the movement of robotic arm with the help of Genetic Algorithm so that the minimum energy consumption criteria can be achieved. As compared to Direct Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics evolved ...

The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to characterize the bridge material selection decisions of highway officials across the United States. Understanding product choices by utilizing the AHP allowed us to develop strategies for increasing the use of timber in bridge construction. State Department of Transportation engineers, private consulting engineers, and local highway officials w...
