In this paper, a new hybrid fuzzy multiple criteria group decision making (FMCGDM) approach has been proposed for sustainable project selection. First, a comprehensive framework, including economic, social, and environmental effects of an investment, strategic alliance, organizational readiness, and risk of investment has been proposed for sustainable project selection. As the relative importan...

In a heterogeneous wireless network, handover techniques are designed to facilitate anywhere/anytime service continuity for mobile users. Consistent best-possible access to a network with widely varying network characteristics requires seamless mobility management techniques. Hence, the vertical handover process imposes important technical challenges. Handover decisions are triggered for contin...

Using entropy weight and TOPSIS method, a comprehensive evaluation is done on the development level of Chinese regional service industry in this paper. Firstly, based on existing research results, an evaluation index system is constructed from the scale of development, the industrial structure and the economic benefits. An evaluation model is then built up based on entropy weight and TOPSIS, an...

The interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic variables can easily express the indeterminate and inconsistent information in real world, and TOPSIS is a very effective decision making method more and more extensive applications. In this paper, we will extend the TOPSIS method to deal with the interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic information, and propose an extended TOPSIS method to solve...

The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods VIKOR and TOPSIS are based on an aggregating function representing ‘‘closeness to the ideal’’, which originated in the compromise programming method. In VIKOR linear normalization and in TOPSIS vector normalization is used to eliminate the units of criterion functions. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, p...

In view of multi-attribute decision-making problems with interval numbers in social economy and engineering system, this paper defines and analyzes the basic operational rule, normalized method, sequence comparison strategy, and the calculating formula for the distance of interval numbers and interval number sequence. It presents weighted TOPSIS decision-making model based on interval numbers o...

Many decision tasks in disaster management are concerned with spatial patterns and spatial decision problems often require that a large number of feasible alternatives be evaluated based on multiple criteria. Although Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide extensive spatial analysis and data visualization power to users, such systems offer a limited capacity for tackling complex spatial...

The interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic variables can easily express the indeterminate and inconsistent information in real world, and TOPSIS is a very effective decision making method more and more extensive applications. In this paper, we will extend the TOPSIS method to deal with the interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic information, and propose an extended TOPSIS method to solve...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for the success of a supply chain management. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are considered as an impressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this...

In order to cope with the frequent unpredictable changes that may occur in manufacturing systems, and to optimize given performance criteria, the assignment of workers can be decided online in a dynamic manner, whenever the worker is released. Several studies, in the ergonomics literature, have shown that individuals' performances decrease because of their fatigue in work. In manufacturing cont...
