Multi-criterion tabu programming is a new approach for a decision making support and it can be applied to determine the Pareto solutions. Similarly to rules applied in the genetic programming, tabu programming solves problems by using a general solver that is based on a tabu algorithm. In the formulated task assignment problem as a multi-criterion question, both a workload of a bottleneck compu...

Personnel evaluation and selection is a very important activity for the enterprises. Different job needs different ability and the requirement of criteria which can measure ability is different. It needs a suitable and flexible method to evaluate the performance of each candidate according to different requirements of different jobs in relation to each criterion. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP...

The utilitarian solution criterion, which has been extensively studied in multi-agent decision making under uncertainty, aims to maximize the sum of individual utilities. However, as the utilitarian solution often discriminates against some agents, it is not desirable for many practical applications where agents have their own interests and fairness is expected. To address this issue, this pape...

Finding the appropriate weight for each criterion is one of the main points in Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problems. Shannon’s entropy method is one of the various methods for finding weights discussed in the literature. However, in many real life problems, the data for the decision making processes cannot be measured precisely and there may be some other types of data, for instance,...

the development of multiple criteria decision making techniques is to provide the possibility of using multiple criteria in decision making problems. multi-criteria decision making problems primarily relate to choosing the best option among several available options and according to some indicators. one of the major issues in this regard is to determine the importance weights of decision criter...
