The paper describes combinatorial framework for planning of geological exploration for oil-gas fields. The suggested scheme of the geological exploration involves the following stages: (1) building of special 4-layer tree-like model (layer of geological exploration): productive layer, group of productive layers, oil-gas field, oil-gas region (or group of the fields); (2) generations of local de...

Global economic competition has spurred the manufacturing sector to improve and invest in modern equipment to satisfy the needs of the market. In particular, machine tool selection is the most important problem; it plays a primary role in the improvement of productivity and flexibility in the manufacturing environment and involves the imprecise, vague and uncertain information. This paper prese...

Content Management System (CMS) is an information system that allows publishing, editing, modifying content over internet through a central interface. By the evolution of internet and related communication technologies, CMS has become a key information technology (IT) for organizations to communicate with its internal and exterior environment. Just like any other IT projects, the selection of C...

The paper addresses modular hierarchical design (composition) of a management system for smart homes. The management system consists of security subsystem (access control, alarm control), comfort subsystem (temperature, etc.), intelligence subsystem (multimedia, houseware). The design solving process is based on Hierarchical Morphological Multicriteria Design (HMMD) approach: (1) design of a tr...

According to choice models in economics, consumer choice can be modeled as a two-stage process, starting with the choice of feasible alternatives, called the screening process, followed by compensatory evaluation of the remaining alternatives. Although spatial decision support systems used in various application areas support the screening process by allowing users to impose constraints on alte...

The paper describes combinatorial synthesis approach with interval multset estimates of system elements for modeling, analysis, design, and improvement of a modular telemetry system. Morphological (modular) system design and improvement are considered as composition of the telemetry system elements (components) configuration. The solving process is based on Hierarchical Morphological Multicrite...

Business decision making is an act of choosing between at least two competing simultaneously available investment alternatives. Cost benefit analysis enables direct and indirect measurement all relevant costs benefits expected in the future based on a given project. It justification investments expediency redirecting capital to projects. However, cost not method general optimization because it ...

introductionkalat dam and hydropower plant, which is in maroon river basin, kohgiluyeh and boyer-ahmad province is situated in the southwest of iran. in this research, in order to select the optimum alternative to this project, with due emphasis on the environmental criterions, three alternatives, namely, kalat, sarkooh, and zirna, are investigated. this plan encompasses the objectives of secur...

Global challenge and the speedy growth of information technologies compel organizations to constantly change their ways. At the present time, associations need IT personnel who create a difference by creative thoughts and who preserve with the rapid amendments. Since the evaluation of IT personnel selection (ITPS) consists of different alternatives and criteria, therefore, IT personnel selectio...
