The purpose of this article is twofold: first to introduce a multi attribute decision making model for radio frequency identification system consisting of four main criteria and five alternatives, and second to develop and solve the proposed fuzzy TOPSIS problem. Author presented an effective fuzzy multi-criteria method based upon the fuzzy model and the concepts of positive ideal and negative ...

through risk assessment process, it is necessary to identify, analyze, and prioritize systematically all environmental impacts of industries which have high destructive potentiality as well as representation of a mitigation plan. the current study aims at identification and prioritization of risks and impacts caused by abadan gas power plant. all kinds of the operational risks of the power plan...

Knowledge management can greatly facilitate an organization’s learning via strategic insight. Assessing the achievements of knowledge communities (KC) includes both a theoretical basis and practical aspect; however, a cautionary word is in order, because using improper measurements will increase complexity and reduce applicability. Group decision-making, the essence of knowledge communities, le...

With the accelerated development of smart cities, construction and grids have an increasing impact on safe stable operation power systems. The benefit evaluation can find out problems more comprehensively, which is great practical significance for further cities. In order to ensure accuracy real-time evaluation, this paper proposes a new hybrid intelligent model using improved technique prefere...

insurance companies are important economic institutions in each country and support other economic institutions and good performance of them has an effective role in economic boom. insurance companies to achieve strong and effective performance must be aware of the environment, the competitor and their performance and carry out necessary actions with regard to this information. in this study, t...

In this study, we first introduce the fuzzy sets, soft sets, fuzzy soft sets and their related properties. We then present the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) that is one of classical Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods. We also present the Grey Relation Method. In the main part of this study, we extend the TOPSIS method on the fuzzy soft se...

The interval neutrosophic set (INS) can be easier to express the incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information, and TOPSIS is one of the most commonly used and effective method for multiple attribute decision making, however, in general, it can only process the attribute values with crisp numbers. In this paper, we have extended TOPSIS to INS, and with respect to the multiple attribute...

In classification problems when multiples algorithms are applied to different benchmarks a difficult issue arises, i.e., how can we rank the algorithms? In machine learning it is common run the algorithms several times and then a statistic is calculated in terms of means and standard deviations. In order to compare the performance of the algorithms, it is very common to employ statistical tests...
