This paper is in memory of Professor Thomas L. Saaty, who died on the 14th August 2017. In a problem-solving process, first step to model real-world problem. The modeling effort one hardest parts and there no universal way do it. initial involves structuring problem obtaining simplified so that any multi-criteria or statistical models can be applied. intends explain process through subjective g...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an established decision method used to synthesize judgments and select the best alternative. The AHP literature extensively discusses both theory and case studies for judgments made by one person. However, instances exist when the judgments of a group of individuals are needed for accurate knowledge representation and robust decision making. One such inst...

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis has been widely used to evaluate alternative strategies in order to determine the best one for given business setting. This study aims at providing a quantitative basis to analytically determine the ranking of the factors in SWOT analysis via a conventional multi-criteria decision making method, Analytic Network Process (ANP). Th...

Clustering is an energy-efficient routing algorithm in a sensor cloud environment (SCE). The clustering nodes communicate with the base station via cluster head (CH), which can be selected based on remaining energy, distance, or distance from neighboring nodes. If CH energy and far away head, then it not selection technique. same applies to other criteria. For selection, single criterion suffic...

Decisions related to managing IT resources which resources to keep in-house and which resources to outsource are critical to business success. The goal of this paper is to show the usefulness of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision-making tool for IT sourcing decisions, based on an analysis of factors that recent literature found to be associated with IT sourcing risk. Although th...

This article presents a literature review of the applications of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is a multiple criteria decision-making tool that has been used in almost all the applications related with decision-making. Out of many different applications of AHP, this article covers a select few, which could be of wide interest to the researchers and practitioners. The article critically ...

In this work, the authors have proposed a new technique for network selection decision. This technique combines two multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods. The analytic network process (ANP) method to find the differentiate weights of available networks by considering each criterion and the grey relational analysis (GRA) method to rank the alternatives. To show the effectiveness of our ...
