In their excellent recounting of the development multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) from its early history to 21st century, Koksalan et al. (2011) proposed that MCDM is both old and new. It because makers have always had make tradeoffs with objectives when decisions; authors refer Benjamin Franklin’s approach decisions by trading off benefits costs during 1700’s. However, as an important ...

Intervals are related to the representation of uncertainty. In this sense, we introduce an integral of Gould type for an interval-valued multifunction relative to an interval-valued set multifunction, with respect to Guo and Zhang order relation. Classicaland specific properties of this new type of integral are established and several examples and applications from multicriteria decision making...

The purpose of this investigation is directed towards summarizing and researching of models for decision making support in multicriteria problems under uncertainties from fuzzy type. The models simulate (approximate) human decision making by means of applying of the fuzzy sets theory. Multicriteria fuzzy decision making problems will be considered in cases of fuzziness present in initial inform...

This paper presents new approaches to formulating and solving complex real-life decision-making problems, making use of the creativity concept. We assume that the decision-making process is embedded in the system of views and mutual relations between the decision-makers and their surrounding environment, so that creativity, as defined formally in Sec. 2, could play a primary role in the decisio...

The aim of this paper is to show how non-additive measures and intervals can be combined in order to provide a simple and accurate approach to multi-criteria decision making problems. We construct an interval-based Choquet integral in order to derive preferences over a set of multidimensional alternatives. Preferences are no longer real number comparisons, but interval comparisons, which is not...

In this work, multicriteria decision making objective for flow shop scheduling with sequence dependent set up time and due dates have been developed. Multicriteria decision making objective includes total tardiness, total earliness and makespan simultaneously which is very effective decision making for scheduling jobs in modern manufacturing environment. As problem of flow shop scheduling is NP...

DEFINITION A spatial decision support system (SDSS) is an interactive, computer-based system designed to support a user or a group of users in achieving a higher effectiveness of decision making while solving a semi-structured spatial decision problem [10]. It lies at the intersection of two major trends in the spatial sciences: geographic information sciences (GIS) and spatial analysis [10]. W...
