The VIKOR method was developed to solve MCDM problems with conflicting and noncommensurable (different units) criteria, assuming that compromising is acceptable for conflict resolution, the decision maker wants a solution that is the closest to the ideal, and the alternatives are evaluated according to all established criteria. This method focuses on ranking and selecting from a set of alternat...

‎ranking fuzzy numbers is generalization of the concepts of order, and class, and so have fundamental applications. moreover, deriving the final efficiency and powerful ranking are helpful to decision makers when solving fuzzy problems. selecting a good ranking method can apply to choosing a desired criterion in a fuzzy environment. there are numerous methods proposed for the ranking of fuzzy n...

This paper proposes a human age estimation method using Ranking SVM method. Given a face image, most previous methods estimate the human age directly. However, the face images from the same age vary so much that it’s really a difficult problem to estimate the human age accurately. In this work, we adopt an alternative way to estimate the human age. First, the rank relationship of the ages is le...

In this paper, a multi-criteria facility location model is represented. The model is meant to support relief organisations to determine the best warehouse location to stock emergency relief supplies in the pre-disaster phase of a natural disaster. As a result of the prepositioning of the goods the relief organisations are able to respond immediately to an occurring disaster. In consideration of...

Wuhan Province in China reported the first case of novel corona virus as pneumonia outbreak during December 2019. The coronavirus was soon declared a pandemic by World Health Organization. On 16th July 2021, number COVID-19 confirmed cases 188,128,952 globally, out which 4,059,339 individuals succumbed to this deadly virus. In short span time, eight vaccines were approval for emergency use diff...

behind it, see Anderson and Perlis (2005). 3. In the case of logic-based domains, an anomaly often takes the form of a direct contradiction, E and ¬E. This is the case, for instance, not only in the nonmonotonic reasoning domain, but also in the natural language domain discussed in this article. For these, we employ active logic (Elgot-Drapkin and Perlis 2006), a time-sensitive inference engine...
