Fuzzy AHP is often used in multi-criteria decision analysis. In this paper we consider an example given by Deng [I] and in particular the method used to approximate the fuzzy principle eigenvector of the fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices. We show Nigel Steele Computational Intelligence Group, School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry. CV1 5FB...

the present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in chaharmil mechanized farming center, ardestan town, isfahan province, iran. climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (analytical hierarchy p...

Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used for a variety of applications such as supplier selection, customer requirements assessment and the like. The vast majority of the applications, however, were found avoiding the use of sophisticated approaches for fuzzy AHP such as fuzzy least squares method while using a simple extent analysis for the sake of simplicity. The extent ana...

In this paper, the definition of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) is given, then based on the aspect of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) formed by priority weights approximatives actual intuitionistic fuzzy complementary judgment matrix(IFCJM), a least deviation priority method for intuitio...

This paper depicts the knowledge-based system named as ESPMS (Expert System for Process Model Selection) through various models. A questionnaire was developed to identify important parameters, which were evaluated through domain experts in about all the universities of Pakistan. No exact system was found, which could guide Software Engineers for selection of a proper model during software devel...

Financial problems have been the subject of much research. A widely used approach in recent work on these problems is the use of fuzzy set theory, where fuzzy terms are used to model the uncertain environments. The purpose of this work is to combine the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with the portfolio selection problem. More specifically, the decision-making problem is to decide which ...

The evaluation process of employee performance has been very vital and critical issue for companies that aim to reward employees for meeting their organizational goals and identify whether or not their objectives are met, and develop necessary action plans so that they can be achieved in near future. This selection process is so essential for companies due to the fact that wrong decisions may n...

The recent government tendering process being conducted in an electronic way is becoming an inevitable affair for numerous governmental agencies to further exploit the superiorities of conventional tendering. Thus, developing an effective web-based bid evaluation methodology so as to realize an efficient and effective government E-tendering (GeT) system is imperative. This paper firstly investi...

The supplier selection exercise is a critical factor towards the success of a company. This paper compares four different methods to support decision makers in selecting the most appropriate supplier. When using Fuzzy logic, the importance of each criterion gets influenced by the level of decomposition in the hierarchical model. Fuzzy logic does not have the capability to measure the level of c...

Based on features of distance education and its disadvantages in terms of learning evaluation, this study uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy mathematics theory to study distance education. First, an electric file is generated for each learner. Then a practical multi-hierarchy evaluation model is built based on AHP. Finally, evaluation of on-line education is done based on informati...
