A new evidential reasoning based approach is proposed that may be used to deal with uncertain decision knowledge in multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problems with both quantitative and qualitative attributes. This approach is based on an evaluation analysis model and the evidence combination rule of the Dempster-Shafer theory. It is akin to a preference modeling approach, comprising an...

In some multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. This paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in MADM with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs). TrIFNs are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. Fir...

some incidents in urban railway systems affect the function of the subway’s company adversely and they could disorder the services. these events may inflict irreparable damage to passengers, employees and equipment. by recognizing the hazards existing in this type of transportation system and evaluating and prioritizing risks, we can perform appropriate actions to reduce the probability and sev...

Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is used to select the best alternative from multi-alternatives based on multi-attribute (fashion material) and multi-criteria (sustainable fashion). Multi-alternatives are cotton, linen, silk, wool, acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon, spandex, mixed. Multi-attributes material, texture, color, characteristic, comfort, wearability. Multi-criteria material fibe...

In Human Computer Interaction (HCI), the computer has to take many decisions to react in a way that human wants. As decisions in HCI are diverse, contradictory, and hard to measure it is hard to study and model them, e.g. finding a mapping from the users preferences to adaptions of the user interface. To ease these tasks, we developed MADL (Multi-Attribute Decision Language). This programming l...

insurance companies are important economic institutions in each country and support other economic institutions and good performance of them has an effective role in economic boom. insurance companies to achieve strong and effective performance must be aware of the environment, the competitor and their performance and carry out necessary actions with regard to this information. in this study, t...

9 This article proposes an approach to handle multi-attribute decision making (MADM) 10 problems under the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment, in which both 11 assessments of alternatives on attributes (hereafter, referred to as attribute values) and 12 attribute weights are provided as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs). 13 The notion of relative closeness is e...

Seamless continuity is the main goal in fourth generation Wireless networks (FGWNs), to achieve this “ HANDOVER” technique is used, when a mobile terminal(MT) is in overlapping area for service continuity, Handover mechanism are mainly used. In Heterogeneous wireless networks main challenge is continual connection among the different networks like WiFi, WiMax, WLAN, WPAN etc. In this paper, Ver...

The choice of an aggregation function is a common problem in Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) systems. The Method of Imprecision (MoI) is a formal theory for the manipulation of preliminary design information that represents preferences among design alternatives with the mathematics of fuzzy sets. The MoI formulates the preliminary design problem as a MADM problem. To date, two aggregatio...

Recently, the TODIM has been used to solve multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. The single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) are useful tools to depict the uncertainty of the MADM. In this paper, we will extend the TODIM method to the MADM with the single-valued neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs). Firstly, the definition, comparison, and distance of SVNNs are briefly presented, and the ...
