Iran is one of the flood-prone areas in world with inappropriate climatic patterns. In this study, flood risk maps three scenarios by combining Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Analytical Network (ANP) and Fuzzy (FAHP) models Ordered Weighted Average (OWA), Linear Combination (WLC) models., Local (LWLC) two new models, Multi-Criteria Analysis (WMCA) Geo Technique for Order Preference Similarit...

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a methodology that reuses the solutions of previous similar problems to solve new problems. Adaptation is the most difficult stage in the CBR cycle, especially, when the solution space is multi-dimensional. This paper discusses the adaptation of a high dimensional solution space and proposes a possible approach to it. A Visualisation induced Self Organising Map (Vi...

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory to deal with uncertainly is more appreciate. The aim of this paper is present a multi-criteria group decision-making model under an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment. Henc...

Utilizing renewable energies is identified as one of significant issues for economical and social significance in future human life. Thus, choosing the best renewable energy among renewable energy candidates is more important. To address the issue, multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) methods with imprecise information could be employed to solve these problems. The aim of this paper is ...

this study recommends a gis-based (geographic information systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in natanz city of iran. the multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. it also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. the methodologies used for site...

Using distributed generations (DGs) with optimal scheduling and optimal distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) are two aspects that can improve efficiency as well as technical and economic features of microgrids (MGs). This work presents a stochastic copula scenario-based framework to jointly carry out optimal scheduling of DGs and DFR. This framework takes into account non-dispatchable and ...

Land cover change is a strategic issue in the Subwatershed of Danau Limau Manis. The community was triggered by big earthquake September 30, 2009, so people moved to upper watershed. problem increasing number people, damage watershed ecosystem. This can be seen from erosion river water and availability during rainy season dry season. An appropriate solution needed reduce modeling land cover. st...

Power supply is a key issue for decision-makers. The reservoir operation of multi-reservoir systems an important aspect to consider in efforts increase power generation. This research studies system comprising the Khersan-I (KHI), Karoon-III (KAIII) and Karoon-IV (KAIV) with intent being To achieve this, Two-Point Heading Rule was integrated new optimization algorithm, namely Seagull Optimizati...
