Para Kontraktor harus mampu menyikapi kondisi persaingan agar dapat mempertahankan keberlangsungan operasional perusahaan. Perencanaan dan pengendalian Proyek merupakan hal yang diperhatikan kontruks...

Fuzzy AHP is often used in multi-criteria decision analysis. In this paper we consider an example given by Deng [I] and in particular the method used to approximate the fuzzy principle eigenvector of the fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices. We show Nigel Steele Computational Intelligence Group, School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry. CV1 5FB...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a powerful quantitative measurement method in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) area. It has been used in banks, manufacturing systems, organizational performance evaluation, and project selection. Despite this widespread usage, many studies argue that rank reversal phenomenon is unpreventable when any AHP method is applied. This paper presents that t...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

In this paper, a Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system is presented. In this system, a method called the Average Area Histogram (AAH) is proposed based on the area features of the regions formed by the pixels of each color, which retains the advantages of the conventional histogram. A key issue in CBIR is to develop a proper weight assignment method for combining various image features in...

This paper presents a novel multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for assessing and prioritizing medical tourism destinations in uncertain environment. A systematic evaluation and assessment method is proposed by incorporating Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multi-Attribute Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) methods in rough number. Rough number effectively aggrega...
