Energy dispatching in smart (micro)grids must take into account more conflicting objectives (or criteria), such as power reliability and quality, proper handling of the electricity demand, and cost decrease. The choice of the best alternative in energy dispatching decisions can be dealt with as a multi-criteria optimization and decision making problem. To this aim, we propose the use of linear ...

Tom Saaty developed the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) more than 25 years ago. Since then, AHP has been used by decision makers all over the world to model problems in diverse areas such as conflict analysis, marketing, R&D management, strategic planning, and public policy. Thousands of AHP papers have been published, documenting the wide applicability of the approach in ranking, selecting, e...

Every complex problem now days require multicriteria decision making to get to the desired solution. Numerous Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches have evolved over recent time to accommodate various application areas and have been recently explored as alternative to solve complex software engineering problems. Most widely used approach is Analytic Hierarchy Process that combines ma...

Teaching quality is the lifeblood of college survival and development, and improving the teaching quality is the eternal theme of teaching management. To establish teaching quality monitoring system is an important measure to guarantee improvement of the teaching quality. And the teaching quality evaluation is an effective way to improve the teaching quality. By reasonable teaching evaluation, ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the widely accepted and frequently used priority assessment methods. A number of studies, which employed the AHP method, have already been carried out in different domains to support their multi-criteria decision-making definitions and applications. However, few researchers have paid attentions to extract and represent the important concepts and th...

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used as a modelling and solution tool for multicriteria decision making. The AHP breaks a problem down and then aggregates the solutions of all the subproblems into a conclusion. By breaking it down, the AHP utilizes the human ability to make sound judgements about small problems. (see Saaty 1991 and Saaty 1996.) The most creative part of decision making ...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...

the conceptualization of total economic value (tev) associated with protected natural areasnecessarily requires an analytical reordering that ensures a simultaneous incorporation of natural, social andeconomic components. based on this purpose, the present paper uses a multi-criteria decision modeling forthe economic valuation of environmental goods and services (egs) in the viñales national pa...

according to the limit of resources in the subject of prioritization, one of the alternative methods is mcdm method. generally, mcdm models have been developed under certainty while we confront with under uncertainty in real world. in hierarchical mcdm methods, one of the main steps is to weigh criteria and computes each alternative weight using defined criteria in the next steps. one of the ea...

Due to its wide applicability and ease of use, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been studied extensively for the last 20 years. Recently, it is observed that the focus has been confined to the applications of the integrated AHPs rather than the stand-alone AHP. The five tools that commonly combined with the AHP include mathematical programming, quality function deployment (QFD), meta-he...
