OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to apply an informatics tool for dealing with a medical decision aiding problem to help infertile couples to become parents, when using assisted reproduction. METHODS A multiple criteria decision aiding method for sorting or ordinal classification problems, called Electre Tri-C, was chosen in order to assign each couple to an embryo-transfer category. The se...

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the assessment of the possible impact that a proposed plan or project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. The aim of this paper is to propose an environmental impact assessment methodology based on an integrated fuzzy AHP–ELECTRE approach in the context of urban industrial planning. In the propose...

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to aid decision-making for sustainable development. However, although uncertainty is present in all decision environments, dealing with incomplete and vague information analysis remains a challenge. Our objective simplify the incorporation of scoring alternatives MCDA processes. We modified ELimination Choice Translating REal...

Malzeme seçimi yapısal/mekanik tasarım süreçlerinde çok önemli adımlardan biridir. yapılırken analitik ve matematiksel ilkelere dayanan karar verme süreçlerinin daha iyi sonuç verdiği literatürde görülmüştür. Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) metotları malzeme seçiminde etkin sıklıkla kullanılan tekniklerdir. Bu çalışmada, değişik oran tipte kumaş, yüksek fırın cürufu epoksi içeren 8 adet kompozi...

In hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), which are generalized from fuzzy sets, the membership degree of an element to a set, for which decision-makers hesitate while considering several values before expressing their preferences concerning weights and data, can be assigned one or more possible precise values between zero and one. If two or more decision-makers assign an equivalent value, that value is o...

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) is one of the most widely used decision methodologies in the sciences, business, and engineering worlds. MCDM refers to screening, prioritizing, ranking or selecting the alternatives based on human judgment from among a finite set of alternatives in terms of multiple usually conflicting criteria. In this paper, we develop a new methodology for solving multi...

Cloud Computing is a business model revolution more than a technological one. It capitalized on various technologies that have proved themselves and reshaped the use of computers by replacing their local use by a centralized one where shared resources are stored and managed by a third-party in a way transparent to end-users. With this new use came new needs and one of them is the need to search...
