The rotation of starting pitchers is a strategic issue which has a significant impact on the performance of a professional team. Choosing an optimal starting pitcher from among many alternatives is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this study, a model using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is ...

In this paper, from among multi-criteria models in making complex decisions and multiple attribute models for the most preferable choice, technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach has been dealt with. In some cases, determining precisely the exact value of the attributes is difficult and that, as a result of this, their values are considered as intervals. The...

The concept of a common operational picture has been utilized by the military for situational awareness in warfare domains for many years. With the emergence of cyberspace as a domain, there is a necessity to develop doctrine and tools to enable situational awareness for key-decision makers. Our study analyzes key elements that define cyber situational awareness to develop a methodology to iden...

Success of an e-business company is strongly associated with the relative quality of its website compared to that of its competitors. The purpose of this study is to propose a multi-attribute e-business website quality evaluation methodology based on a modified fuzzy TOPSIS approach. In the proposed methodology, weights of the evaluation criteria are generated by a fuzzy AHP procedure. In perfo...

The transition from traditional to sustainable energy is nothing without easy access clean energy. Therefore, different economies have made smooth transitions but still there gap in cleanability across the world. Here, this study adopted two stage-analyses; initially it presents an overlook of through applying Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with entropy wei...

In view of multi-attribute decision-making problems with interval numbers in social economy and engineering system, this paper defines and analyzes the basic operational rule, normalized method, sequence comparison strategy, and the calculating formula for the distance of interval numbers and interval number sequence. It presents weighted TOPSIS decision-making model based on interval numbers o...

The interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic variables can easily express the indeterminate and inconsistent information in real world, and TOPSIS is a very effective decision making method more and more extensive applications. In this paper, we will extend the TOPSIS method to deal with the interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic information, and propose an extended TOPSIS method to solve...

The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods VIKOR and TOPSIS are based on an aggregating function representing ‘‘closeness to the ideal’’, which originated in the compromise programming method. In VIKOR linear normalization and in TOPSIS vector normalization is used to eliminate the units of criterion functions. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, p...

Personalized recommendation service helping users to target the interesting information from the excessive information set has been widely concerned. In this paper, we firstly propose a new method named Modified TOPSIS Method utilizing the Improved Gray Correlation Analysis Method. Then, we present a new personalized recommendation technique based on the Modified TOPSIS Method. Finally, the ver...
