This article addresses reinsurance decision making process, which involves the insurance company and the reinsurance company, and is negotiated through reinsurance intermediaries. The article proposes a decision flow to model the reinsurance design and selection process. In contrast to existing literature on pure proportional reinsurance or stop-loss reinsurance, this article focuses on the com...

the purpose followed in this study was to utilize the modern model method of spatial multi-attribute decision making (madm) to provide a comprehensive model for priority classification of vulnerable to drought area in the basin of gavkhouni. the main preference of this method over other methods is that in addition to making use of the geographical data the judgment of decision makers is also ma...

Motivated by intuitionistic fuzzy sets and fzzy linguistic approach, this article proposes the concept of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LIFNs) where membership and and nonmembership are represented as linguistic terms. In order to process the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) with LIFNs, we introduce the linguistic score index and linguistic accuracy index of the LIFN. Simult...

The problem of network selection across heterogeneous wireless networks has recently received much attention because of a drive for converged communication systems. However, since the selection of an access network depends on several parameters with different relative importance, such as the network and the application characteristics, the user preferences, the service cost, etc, it is a diffic...

The Asahan Regency Environmental Service is the result of a government agency which implementing element Regional Government in field Environment. As for determining Eco Office Award at Regency, where process assessing work environment each office carried out by providing report that assessed environmental team, assessment still file collection and archived so there may be inaccuracies Awards a...

Providing service continuity to the end users with best quality is a very important issue in the next generation wireless communications. With the evolution of the mobile devices towards a multimode architecture and the coexistence of multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’s), the users are able to benefit simultaneously from these RAT’s. However, the major issue in heterogeneous wireless ...

This paper develops an integrated methodology aimed at diagnosing supply chain resilience in terms of (1) internal dynamic capabilities enterprise, and (2) its suppliers. In addition, unlike other research, it integrates the suppliers’ evaluation into order size allocation plan. Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) algorithms were employed to quantify relative importance evaluate external ent...

this paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (dmus) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (mcdm /madm) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (iahp)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (topsis).          since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

Pairwise comparison (PC) matrices are used in multi-attribute decision problems (MADM) in order to express the preferences of the decision maker. Our research focused on testing various characteristics of PC matrices. In a controlled experiment with university students (N = 227) we have obtained 454 PC matrices. The cases have been divided into 18 subgroups according to the key factors to be an...
