Proposing a hierarchical group compromise method can be regarded as a one of major multi-attributes decision-making tool that can be introduced to rank the possible alternatives among conflict criteria. Decision makers’ (DMs’) judgments are considered as imprecise or fuzzy in complex and hesitant situations. In the group decision making, an aggregation of DMs’ judgments and fuzzy group compromi...

This paper is focused on an introduction of a new software product, which is called FuzzME. This software was developed as a tool for creating fuzzy models of multiple-criteria evaluation and decision making. The type of evaluations employed in the fuzzy models fully corresponds with the paradigm of the fuzzy set theory; the evaluations express the (fuzzy) degrees of fulfillment of correspondin...

Decision-making problems in water resources are often associated with multiple objectives and multiple stakeholders. To enable more effective and acceptable decision outcome, it is required that more participation is ensured in the decision making process. This is particularly relevant for flood management problems where the number of stakeholders could be very large. Although application of mu...

introduction: agriculture is one of the main uses of the land. using agriculture to increase production is always with acidification and loss of groundwater reserves. therefore, with proper planning for use of agricultural land so that to leave the least negative impacts on the soil and water pollution, it is regarded imperative for sustainable development. this study is aimed to better underst...

The primary aim of this paper is to provide background information, motivation for applications and an exposition to the methodologies employed in the development of fuzzy logic based decision making in hydro or water power engineering by optimum selection of hydro turbine blade material. All the works on the application of multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) or fuzzy logic to material scie...

The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) is well suitable to deal with vagueness and hesitancy. In this study, we propose a new fuzzy TOPSIS decision making model using entropy weight for dealing with multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems under intuitionistic fuzzy environment. This model allows measuring the degree of satisfiability and the degree of non-satisfiability, respect...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of Cloud services in an uncertain environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to better model the subjectivity and imprecision in the performance evaluation process. An effective algorithm is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution and t...

Abstract This paper takes the time weight and attribute weight in different periods into consideration to propose a dynamic triangular fuzzy number type multi-attribute decision making method to solve the problem with multi-attribute decision making with triangular fuzzy number as the attribute value. This method utilizes the characteristics of the triangular fuzzy number in order to establish ...

in today’s competitive business situation, performance evaluation of firms is an extremely important concern of all the people who are typically stakeholders of the business game. in case of holding companies, this is a more important issue since the parent firm must permanently control the situation of its subsidiaries in their sectors to make appropriate investment decisions. this paper devel...
