land use planning is the process of allocating different land uses and activities to the special units of land. so we face with two problems of assigning kind of activity and location of it. by considering the role of industries in development, employment and environment, we consider industrial and especially intensive energy industries planning as a multi objective optimization problem. in thi...

In this paper, a novel multi-agent decision making architecture based on dual’s dual problem formulation is designed for economic operation. The benefits of such architecture include its limited information exchange among autonomous entities and the ease of implementation. Existing AC optimal power flow (OPF) software packages can be easily incorporated. The proposed decision making is based on...

this paper attempts to rank the effective factors in making trust in social networks to provide the possibility of attracting and increasing users’ trust on these social networks for providers and designers of online social networks. identifying the effective factors in making trust in social networks is a multi-criteria decision making problem and most of effective factors are ambiguous and un...

in this paper we try to introduce a new approach and study the notion of efficiency under a multi objectives linear programming problem in the university by using analysis of hierarchy process (ahp)‎. ‎to this end‎, ‎we first extract some effective parameters due to efficiency offices in university and then prioritized these parameters by the ahp method‎. ‎hence‎, ‎we could classify the most im...

the inventory routing problem (irp) arises in the context of vendor-managed systems. this problem addresses jointly solving an inventory management problem and a vehicle routing problem. in this paper, we consider a multi-depot multi-vehicle inventory routing problem in which suppliers produce one type of product to be delivered to customers during a finite time horizon. we propose a two-phase ...

The main aim of this paper is to present a novel method for ranking hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) based on transforming HFSs into fuzzy sets (FSs). The idea behind the method is an interesting HFS decomposition which is referred here to as the horizontal representation in the current study. To show the validity of the proposed ranking method, we apply it to solve a multi-attribute decision-making ...

This paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (MADM) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection problem based on Balanced Score Card method. This paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from Grey theory (was proposed by J. Deng). This numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. Beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

The accurate selection of a processing plant site can result in decreasing total mining cost. This problem can be solved by multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. This research introduces a new approach by integrating fuzzy AHP and gray MCDM methods to solve all decision-making problems. The approach is applied in the case of a copper mine area. The critical criteria are considered adja...
