because of important role of development banks in optimal allocation of limited financial resources, their investment efforts must have an objective direction to the achievement of government's strategic goals. in order to get appropriate approaches in its investment, bank of industry and mine (bim) as the only development bank in industry and mine sector, aims to take a general survey amo...

multi-criteria evaluation methods (mcem) have been widely used in the scientific arena as well as in urban and regional planning. the analytic network process (anp) is one the mcem that includes relevant tangible as well as intangible criteria and sub-criteria. it allows for a more complex relationship among the decision levels and attributes, as it does not require a strict hierarchical struct...

SIADEX is an integrated framework to support decision making during crisis episodes by providing realistic temporally annotated plans of action. The main component of SIADEX is a forward state-based HTN temporal planner.

In this study, a new hierarchical decision-making and decision-fusion mechanism is introduced for solving decision making problems in a consistent manner. This mechanism is constructed by using a genetic algorithm. The proposed mechanism employs fuzzy logic and a performance index determined based on the performance of decision-making agents at successive hierarchical levels. The mechanism is s...

Abstract Purpose of this paper: The objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach to evaluate the most suitable RFID-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. Design/methodology/approach: R...

Here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The fuzzy AHP approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for ERP system selection problem. Therefore, fuzzy AHP method is used to obtain firm decis...

Abstract To make good decisions in the real world, people need efficient planning strategies because their computational resources are limited. Knowing which would work best for different situations be very useful understanding and improving human decision-making. Our ability to compute those used limited small simple tasks. Here, we introduce a cognitively inspired reinforcement learning metho...
