this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

The real-time online decision support system RODOS provides support throughout all phases of a nuclear or radiological emergency in Europe. The multicriteria decision support tool Web-HIPRE has been integrated into RODOS for a transparent evaluation of long-term measures, taking into account the preferences of a decision making team. However, a decision making process in practice is subject to ...

In this paper we review the applicability of representative inductive machine learning approaches in multicriteria decision making. We limit our review to four systems. We use SICLA and KBG as representative conceptual clustering systems and ID3 and CN2 as representative learning from examples systems. We demonstrate our results by way of two real world decision making exemplars. The first exem...

Decision Makers (DM) should know how to allocate information technology in their organizations. Multicriteria methods can be used to analyze decisions dealing with this problem. This paper provides the use of systemic approach to reduce the level of uncertainty prevalent in this type of decisions; thus, we use multicriteria aid decision making to solve this complex problem. Using also mathemati...

Structural and societal changes in process industry have lead to new requirements in process development, design and project management. The growing importance of health, safety and environmental aspects has increased the number of criteria considered in design. The decisions have to be made in a multicriteria environment considering uncertainty and the life-cycle point of view. Process industr...

Climate adaptation is a dynamic social and institutional process where the governance dimension is receiving growing attention. Adaptive governance is an approach that promises to reduce uncertainty by improving the knowledge base for decision making. As uncertainty is an inherent feature of climate adaptation, adaptive governance seems to be a promising approach for improving climate adaptatio...

The problemof selection and the best option are themain subject of operation research science in decision-making theory. Selection is a process that scrutinizes and investigates several quantitative and qualitative, and most often incompatible, factors. One of the most fundamental management issues in multicriteria selection literature is the multicriteria adoption of the projects portfolio. In...

Robust and resilient interconnected structures rely on decision procedures, both under uncertainty and multicriteria. In decision under uncertainty, we aim at finding a scoring procedure to determine an optimal decision without prior knowledge on the actual state of the world. In multicriteria decision making, the state of the world is known but we aim at ranking alternatives defined over a mul...

Decision-making techniques are used to select the "best" alternatives under multiple and often conflicting criteria. Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) necessitates to incorporate uncertainties in the decision-making process. The major thrust of this article is to extend the framework proposed by Yager for multiple decisionmakers and fuzzy utilities (payoffs). In addition, the concept of expe...
