The selection of the most suitable machining process for a given machining application is not straightforward and requires consideration of a number of techno-technological and economic criteria. Therefore is often viewed as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). This paper is focused on multi-criteria economic analysis of various machining processes by applying recently developed MCDM method...

The topic of this paper are discrete decision problems with multiple criteria. We rst deene discrete multiple criteria decision problems and introduce a classiication scheme for multiple criteria optimization problems. To do so we use multiple criteria optimization classes. The main result is a characterization of the class of lexicographic max-ordering problems by two very useful properties, r...

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

The TODIM is a valuable technique for solving classical MCDM problems in case of considering the decision maker’s psychological behavior. One main goal of this chapter is to introduce the measured functions-based hesitant fuzzy TODIM technique to deal with the behavioral MCDM problem under hesitant fuzzy environments. The main advantages of this technique are that (1) it can handle the MCDM pro...

Decision-making has evolved as an interesting research problem for decision community. We consider a decision problem that takes into account several criteria called Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in an interactive application for adaptive execution. In this paper, we present a method for automatically weighting criteria generation based on users’ traces. In our method, we suggest a p...

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...

The sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems is important for two reasons: First, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. Second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...
