Cloud computing is based on virtualization technology, take the network as the carrier to provide network infrastructure ,platforms, software and other services to form large-scale integration of scalable computing, storage, data, applica...

In SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) assessments, the rating of a process attribute is determined by the aggregated achievements of associated MPs (management practices). Previous rating scale usability studies revealed that experienced assessors had difficulty distinguishing the boundaries between adjacent ratings: Fully and Largely, Largely and Partially, and P...

The object of this paper is to demonstrate how critics can mislead themselves and others in pursuing examples and ideas that draw false conclusions. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has clear requirements that involve both the hierarchical structure and the priorities in the structure. Any example that purports to show that the AHP does not give correct results must first follow these requi...

DS/AHP is a technique for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory of evidence (DST) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Since its introduction it has been developed and applied by a number of authors, as well as form the foundation for other DST related MCDM techniques. This paper reviews the evolution and impact of DS/AHP, culminating in a critical pers...

In the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) the decision maker makes comparisons between pairs of attributes or alternatives. In real applications the comparisons are subject to judgmental errors. Many AHP-matrices reported in the literature are found to be such that the logarithm of the comparison ratio can be suÆciently well modeled by a normal distribution with a constant variance. On the basis ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is widely used by decision makers and researchers. The definition of criteria and the calculation of their weight are central in this method to assess the alternatives. However, there are few studies that focus on them. The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic review of literature on the real cases that applied AHP to evaluate how the criteria ar...

This paper describes an application of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to enhance interactive budgeting in one of the biggest public university hospitals in Italy. AHP improved budget allocation facilitating elicitation and formalisation of units' needs. Furthermore, AHP facilitated vertical communication among managers and stakeholders, as it allowed multilevel hierarchical representation of ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model was designed by Thomas L.Saaty (Saaty, 1980) in 1970s as a decision making aid. It is especially suitable for complex decisions which involve the comparison of decision elements which are difficult to quantify. It is based on the assumption that when faced with a complex decision the natural human reaction is to cluster the decision elements according ...

Successful strategic decisions provide the appropriate operational actions for the right markets at the correct time. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis is a generally used tool which examines strengths and weaknesses of organization or industry together with opportunities and threats of the marketplace environment. SWOT framework provides the basic outline in whic...
