Saudi Arabia generates more than 98% of its electricity through hydrocarbon resources. To reduce the consumption fossil fuel resources and protect environment, government is planning to make renewable energy an essential part mix. In this study, due country’s abundant solar potential, has been selected as source generate in Arabia. The two technologies, photovoltaic (PV) thermal, have analyzed ...

The study presents a novel conception of aggregation operators (AOs) based on bipolar neutrosophic sets by using Hamacher operations and their application in modeling real-life multicriteria decision-making problems. set represents incomplete, inconsistent, indeterminate information effectively. For better understanding this paper, we have explained all essential definitions respective derived ...

This study investigates the contributions of artificial intelligence to the development of decision support systems research subspecialties. Author cocitation analysis was applied to an author cocitation frequency matrix derived from a comprehensive database of the DSS literature (1970-1995) to uncover twelve clusters consisting of six major areas of DSS research (foundations, group DSS, model ...

Mutual fund investors are concerned with the selection of the best fund in terms of performance among the set of alternative funds. This paper proposes an innovative mutual funds performance evaluation measure in the context of multicriteria decision making. We implement a multicriteria methodology using stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis, on Greek domestic equity funds for the per...

Over the past decades the complexity of financial decisions has increased rapidly, thus highlighting the importance of developing and implementing sophisticated and efficient quantitative analysis techniques for supporting and aiding financial decision making. Multicriteria decision aid (MCDA), an advanced branch of operations research, provides financial decision makers and analysts with a wid...

This paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based multicriteria decision analysis approach for mapping accessibility patterns of housing development sites in Canmore, Alberta. The approach involves integrating two multicriteria decision methods (Analytical Hierarchy Process and Ordered Weighted Averaging) in a raster GIS environment, and incorporating the linguistic quantifier con...

There has recently been many proposals to adopt an argumentative approach to decision-making. As the underlying assumptions made in these different approaches are not always clearly stated, we review these works, taking a more classical decision theory perspective, more precisely a multicriteria perspective. It appears that these approaches seem to have much to offer to decision models, because...
