Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...

In Ghana, freight transport is growing continuously every year due to its location and business processes. However, road carries 86% of despite numerous negative impacts. Hence, the government has invested in rail transport, with 70% capacity for her busy corridor (eastern regions Ghana). Thus, awareness criteria considered when deciding on becomes vital. this study aims improve understanding f...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) shows signs of becoming a maturing field. There are four quite distinct families of methods: (i) the outranking, (ii) the value and utility theory based, (iii) the multiple objective programming, and (iv) group decision and negotiation theory based methods. Fuzzy MCDM has basically been developed along the same lines, although with the help of fuzzy set ...

This paper describes the use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) as a decision support tool in environmentally relevant decision problems. Though various methods from Artificial Intelligence as well as from Computational Intelligence have been successfully integrated into Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS), the use of Evolutionary Computation has so far remained marginal in this context...

Software producing organizations regularly make complex technology decisions as part of the software production process, even when there is low availability of expertise in the domain within the organization. Software production is consequently a suitable domain to deploy decision support systems that intelligently assist decision-makers in selecting desirable technologies according to their re...
