The future Heterogeneous Wireless Network (HWN) is composed of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and domains, therefore, new Radio Resource Management (RRM) schemes and mechanisms are necessary to benefit from the individual characteristics of each RAT and to exploit the gain resulting from jointly considering the whole set of the available radio resources in each RAT. Vertical Handover...

Decision making in environmental problems is a complex task due to multiple and often conflicting criteria, varying measurements, qualitative and quantitative input parameters, and lack of exact data. In this paper, we propose a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model based on an integrated fuzzy approach in the context of Hazardous Waste Recycling (HWR). The proposed method: (a) takes into...

The assessment procedure of new synthetic illicit drugs that are not documented in the UN treaty on psychotropic drugs was evaluated using a modified Electre model. Drugs were evaluated by an expert panel via the open Delphi approach, where the written score was discussed on 16 items, covering medical, health, legal, and criminalistic issues of the drugs. After this face-to-face discussion the ...

Electre Tri is a set of methods designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. In these methods, are assigned categories by comparing them with reference profiles that represent either the boundary or central elements category. The original Tri-B method uses one limiting profile for separating category from below. A more recent method, Tri-nB, allows use sa...

Outranking relations are most often built using a concordance-discordance principle. Such relations are, in general, neither transitive nor complete. This is not to say that the concordance-discordance principle does not impose some "structural" restrictions on these relations. We show why this question may be of some importance for analyzing the various techniques designed to build a recommend...
