Seamless session continuity is the main objective in heterogeneous wireless network. To fulfil this need seamless session continuity IEEE proposed 802.21 media independent handover framework. Scope 802.21 is only to initiate and execute the handover process, but it does not give any perspective about network selection problem. In this paper we blend two different multi-attribute decision making...

This work presents a selection model that adopts several important criteria, enabling the manager to select the supply chain management (SCM) of NB are the most appropriate. Major criteria weights are analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and sensitivity analysis. Analysis results indicate that the proposed selection model enables the manager to select the supply chain management...

Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a frequently used method for ranking alternatives. The alternatives to be ranked are modeled based on a set of criteria. The ranking computed by AHP is trusted on faith notwithstanding the fact that a model is an approximation and liable to failure. We present a model to estimate the trust in the AHP ranking. The model helps in determining if it is prudent to...

Effort Estimation has always been a challenging task for the Project managers. Many researchers have tried to help them by creating different types of models. This has been already proved that none is successful for all types of projects and every type of environment. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been identified as the tool that would help in Multi Criteria Decision Making. Researchers ...

This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption about the reciprocal matrix is not necessary. This characteristic makes the FAHP feasible because the property of recipr...

ÐIn this paper, we present and discuss our experience in the task of probability elicitation from experts for the purpose of belief network construction. In our study, we applied four techniques. Three of these techniques are available from the literature, whereas the fourth one is a technique that we developed by adapting a method for the assessment of preferences to the task of probability el...

Anchoring on Socio-technical system (STS) theory, this study applied Delphi and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) techniques to explore the key factors specific indicators of TQM 4.0 model implementation in manufacturing enterprises. An analysis two rounds through experts who are academia, consultants, production/quality supervisors/managers found ten 41 indicators. In third round, weighted impo...
