This paper presents a new method for multiple person multiple attribute decision making (MADM) based on decision makers' subjective preference information on alternatives and objective decision matrix. In this method, multiple decision makers give their preference information on the alternatives in different formats, and an optimization model is constructed to reflect both decision makers' subj...

Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) refers to making preference decisions via assessing a finite number of pre-specified alternatives under multiple and usually conflicting attributes. Many problems in the field additive manufacturing (AM) are essentially MADM or can be converted into problems. Recently, variety methods have been applied solve AM. This generates series interesting questions:...

Abstract Picture fuzzy set (PFS) is a direct generalization of the sets (FSs) and intuitionistic (IFSs). The concept PFS suitable to model situations that involve more answers type yes, no, abstain, refuse. In this study, we introduce novel picture (PF) distance measure on basis operation functions membership, non-membership, neutrality, refusal, upper bound function membership two PFSs. We con...

The increasing intensity of global competition and the rapid advances in information technology (IT) have led organisations to search for more efficient and effective ways to manage their business. With the rapid growth of IT and global complexity, selecting information system projects that further business objectives has become a complex task. This complexity is due to a larger number of alter...

The expected growth in radio access technologies (RAT's) such as wireless technologies (802. 11a, 802. 11b, 802. 15, 802. 16, etc. ) and cellular networks (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, LTE, etc. ) requires efficient vertical handoff algorithm. Variety of vertical handoff algorithms (VHA) have been proposed to help the user to select dynamically the best access network (BAN) in terms of quality of se...

One of the interesting features Multi-Criteria Decision Making/ Multiple Attribute Making (MCDM/ MADM) is that a number techniques can be used to solve same problem. In general, three common categories decision problems are choice problem, ranking and sorting While, issue more emphasized in MCDM/ MADM, but literature weakly consider problems. Several solutions for above problem suggested (i.e.,...

In recent years stock exchange has become one of the most attractive and growing businesses in respect of investment and profitability. But applying a scientific approach in this field is really troublesome because of variety and complexity of decision making factors in the field. This paper tries to deliver a new solution for portfolio selection based on multi criteria decision making literatu...

assessment of risks is a key task in the project management. in this process, risk breakdown structure (rbs) approach can be utilized to identify project relevant risks. in the previous classical method, only limited number of attributes is considered in the evaluation that can cause unreliable results. in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce and involve a relatively comprehensive ...

In this paper we present a Quantified SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analytical method which provides more detailed and quantified data for SWOT analysis. The Quantified SWOT analytical method adopts the concept of Multiple-Attribute Decision Making (MADM), which uses a multi-layer scheme to simplify complicated problems, and thus is able to perform SWOT analysis on sev...
