Availability and diversity of cloud service providers (CSPs) had put the users into confusion for its selection appropriate providers. Some are good at some services while others offering other services. The an is one multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems that became a critical issue public concern in uncertain industry. Based on multiple criteria, various decision-making (MCDM) meth...

Decision-making problems require systematic approach to evaluate alternatives using both quantitative and non-quantitative factors. Standard methods to solve problems lack considerations of non-quantitative factors, in which numeric value is difficult to assign. Different techniques like Fuzzy set theory, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) are presently b...

Multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) research has developed rapidly and has become a main area of research for dealing with complex decision problems. The purpose of the paper is to explore the performance evaluation model. This paper develops an evaluation model based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and the technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution, fuzzy TOPS...

Low-carbon building (LCB) has been regarded as an innovative and practical approach to reducing building carbon emissions. The design decision-making for LCBs should consider various criteria which however are often associated with uncertain information. Little research has examined multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in selecting LCB measures, particularly in high-density subtropical urban e...

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...

Those who conduct integrated assessments (IAs) are aware of the need to explicitly consider multiple criteria and uncertainties when evaluating policies for preventing global warming. MCDM methods are potentially useful for understanding tradeoffs and evaluating risks associated with climate policy alternatives. A difficulty facing potential MCDM users is the wide range of different techniques ...

With the development of electronic information technique, electronic ecommerce grows rapidly, including B2C electronic commerce company. The evaluation of customer value in B2C electronic commerce company is a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with many quantitative and qualitative attributes. This paper proposes fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to evaluate cust...

This article is an update of an article five of us published in 1992. The areas of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Multiattribute Utility Theory (MAUT) continue to be active areas of management science research and application. This paper extends the history of these areas and discusses topics we believe to be important for the future of these fields. as well as two anonymous revie...

one of important problems in supply chains management is supplier selection. in a company, there are massive data from various departments so that extracting knowledge from the company’s data is too complicated. many researchers have solved this problem by some methods like fuzzy set theory, goal programming, multi objective programming, the liner programming, mixed integer programming, analyti...

The design process of a superconducting current limiter (SFCL) requires simulation and definition of its electrical, magnetic and thermal properties in form of equivalent circuits and mathematical models. However, any change in SFCL parameters: dimension, resistance, and operating temperature can affect the limiting mode, quench time, and restore time. In this paper, following the simulation of...
