JEL classification: C65 D81 Q23 Q57 This paper provides a review of research contributions on forest management and planning using multicriteria decision making (MCDM) based on an exhaustive literature survey. The review primarily focuses on the application aspects highlighting theoretical underpinnings and controversies. It also examines the nature of the problems addressed and incorporation o...

We consider Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as the conjunction of three components: search, preference tradeoffs, and interactive visualization. The first MCDM component is the search process over the space of possible solutions to identify the nondominated solutions that compose the Pareto set. The second component is the preference tradeoff process to select a single solution (or a smal...

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have gained increased attention in sustainable engineering, where complex problems require consideration of multiple criteria and stakeholder perspectives. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview the different MCDM methods, their applications strengths weaknesses. The discusses concept its principles, areas been applied, including energy...

As the structure of modern organizations shifts, so correspondingly must the methodologies which underlie the evaluation and development of the security posture of their information systems. We have witnessed an ever-growing gap between organizational policy and technology. We have also witnessed an ever increasing complexity of decisions regarding the planning and design of IS security. Within...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is firmly rooted in an alternative concept of optimality where multiple (rather than single) criteria characterize the notion of “the best” (or optimal), as is prevalent in the areas of economics, engineering, management and business. These are often constrained problems where search for an optimal solution requires some form of evaluating criteria perfo...

Selection of qualified persons suitable for different organization functions is a key success factor for an organization. The complexity and importance of the problem call for analytical methods rather than intuitive decisions. The personnel selection problem requires the application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods for robust recruitment. This paper has to objectives; first to ...

Weapon system selection is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this study we use the Zero-One Goal Programming (ZOGP) approach and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to solve this problem. An interactive procedure is developed for this solution process. Under such a multi-criteria decision-making process, military user and experts’ judgment can be brought to select an appropriate sy...

Recently, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has become one of the important subjects in the industry and academia. Supplier selection, as a strategic decision, plays a significant role in SSCM. Researchers use different multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods to evaluate and select sustainable suppliers. In the previous studies, evaluation is solely based on the desirable feature...

Civil engineering protection works mitigate natural risks in mountains, such as torrents. Analysing their effectiveness at several scales is an essential issue in the risk management. Based on expert knowledge, used methods have been developed under risky environment. However, decision is made under uncertainty because of 1) the lack of information and knowledge on natural phenomena and 2) the ...

in this paper, a model has been provided for selecting right portfolio in stock exchange. the ranking of financial industries and companies has been applied for the selection of the right stock in this model. these rankings have been done through promethee decision- making method. technical analysis aims to determine the right time to buy and sell the superior stocks. a survey study is also don...
