With the rapid development of knowledge economy, human resources have been one of the most important strategies of all walks of life. The role of performance appraisal of human resource management in the modern enterprise is becoming increasingly prominent, and has become the core issue of human resource management. There are two basic methods, qualitative and quantitative appraisal, in the emp...

This paper evaluates and ranks the temporal dimensions, known as fourth dimension of urban design, of a number of places in a city by TOPSIS method. TOPSIS method is technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. TOPSIS is one of the renowned methods for classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems that defines the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution...

The feature of our method different from other fuzzy grey relation method for supermixed multiple attribute group decision-making is that all of the subjective and objective weights are obtained by interval grey number and that the group decisionmaking is performed based on the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS, the relative approach degree of grey incidence and the relative membership de...

Most decision-making processes are dynamic. Critical decisions require multiple and interrelated time-constrained decisions within strongly uncertain and so complex scenarios. The proposed methodology (mixing Delphi, Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and TOPSIS) and is a step forward with regard to the classic tools used in scenarios-based decision-support. This proposal allows managing uncertainty for impr...

We propose a generalized approach to the already existing crisp methods to solve the fuzzy multiattribute decision making problem. Specifically we deal with four methods, namely Simple Additive Weighting, Linear Assignment, TOPSIS and ELECTRE, where fuzzy numbers are used to represent the ratings of the alternatives and relative weights of the attributes. Through the use of fuzzy mathematics we...

Economic growth in developing countries has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure projects like power plants. To meet these development needs, the government of Iran has engaged companies to carry out power plant projects. While many papers have been written on the subject of project risk management, little information exists on the actual use of risk management in practice. The prim...

Multiple attribute decision making is important in many decision making contexts where tradeoffs are involved. The use of qualitative input has proven especially attractive, allowing subjective inputs to be used. However, such systems inherently involve uncertainty with respect to parameter inputs, especially when multiple decision makers are involved. This paper presents the method of grey rel...

This paper proposes a decision support system which integrates the objective weights of importance of the attributes as well as the subjective preferences of the decision maker to decide the composite weights of importance of the attributes. Using fuzzy set theory the qualitative attributes are converted into the quantitative attributes. Based on this model, a decision support system AGVSEL is ...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...
