In next generation wireless networks, the most tempting feature is the ability of the user to move smoothly over different access networks regardless of the network access technology. In this paper we study the benefit of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) strategies for network selection. We compare three of these methods naming Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Multiplicative Exponentia...

Selection of a project among a set of possible alternatives is a difficult task that the decision maker (DM) has to face. In this paper, by using a fuzzy TOPSIS technique we propose a new method for a project selection problem. After reviewing four common methods of comparing investment alternatives (net present value, rate of return, benefit cost analysis and payback period) we use them as cri...

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 ...

TOPSIS is a multiple criteria method to identify solutions from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous minimization of distance from an ideal point and maximization of distance from a nadir point. TOPSIS can incorporate relative weights of criterion importance. This paper reviews several applications of TOPSIS using different weighting schemes and different distance metrics, and c...

nowadays, liveliness and rapid maintenance of the development process of the companies are dependent on the accurate and complete understanding of the merits of the financial activities. since these merits are relative concepts that are based on comparisons, lists of ranking and comparison of industries with each other act as useful signposts for managers, politicians, and investors. the point ...

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) sendiri merupakan salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk mempercepat pengentasan kemiskinan. Permasalahan yang ada saat ini proses penentuan penerima PKH dilakukan pengurus dan pendamping di Desa Pucangan masih secara manual belum didukung sistem optimal. Hal dapat menghambat kinerja petugas berpotensi terjadi kesalahan. Mengatasi permasalahan perlu adanya membantu pih...

In the present paper, suitability of selected oilseeds, their corresponding vegetable oils, and few other raw materials to produce bio-based plastics was evaluated by constructing a novel criteria-based framework for Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) analysis with focus on criteria chemical functionality, sustainability, production quantity, cost, market availability. Qualitative, semi-quan...

In order to resolve cases related to an alternative selection problems (MADM problems), various methods have been applied. Many methods are used to solve the MADM problems, which sometimes give different results. To resolve MADM problem, we can use AHP and TOPSIS methods. The advantages of AHP method are it can provide solutions through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative decision. In ...
