Liaiig presented a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method based on the concepts of ideal and anti-ideal points. Despite its merits, Liang method has the following limitations: ( i ) the objective criteria are converted into dimensionless indices and the subjective criteria are not converted, which may prevent compatibility for these criteria, (ii) the formulas for converting obje...

Joint Admission Control (JAC) handles the admis-sion of all new or handoff service requests in the mod-ern heterogeneous networks and allocates the required resources and guarantees the QoS constraints for the service. JAC is a multicriteria problem in nature, and the usage of MCDM system is mandatory to decrease the influence of the dissimilar, imprecise, and contra-dictory measurements for th...

Machine tool selection is a very complex procedure. It involves deep analysis of various factors affecting functioning and performance. CNC machine tool selection is also a such kind of problem[5]. Objective of this study is to perform various MCDM methods for selecting most appropriate machine tool. AHP method is used to calculate the weights of various criteria[10] . The numerical problem con...

Selection of the best compromise irrigation plan is examined in the multi objective context. The study deals with three con ̄icting objectives: net bene®ts, agricultural production and labour employment. Three-stage procedure is adopted combining multi objective optimisation, cluster analysis and multicriterion decision-making (MCDM) methods. Two MCDM methods, namely, PROMETHEE-2 and a newly dev...

Environmental and Ecological issues call for the reduction in usage of cutting fluids in metal cutting industry. New techniques are being inquired to achieve this objective. Hard turning with minimum quantity lubrication is one such technique which can alleviate the pollution problems associated with cutting fluids. In the present work, vegetable oil based cutting fluids like castor oil, palm o...

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to select middle managers for the global shipping carrier-based logistics service providers (GSLPs). At first, some concepts and methods used to develop a fuzzy MCDM model are introduced. Secondly, to effectively select middle managers for GSLPs, five steps of fuzzy MCDM algorithms are proposed. ...

Our vision is for a seminar that encourages the free exchange of ideas around the organizing subject of learning in MCDM and multiobjective optimization. The following programme provides a skeleton of activities we propose. Participants should suggest amendments to this programme as the week progresses. We encourage the spontaneous formation of working and discussion groups among the participan...

In automotive industry fixtures have a direct effect on product manufacturing quality, productivity and cost, as a result fixtures, particularly welding fixture, play a crucial role in the auto industry. The fixture is a special tool for holding a work piece in proper position during manufacturing operation, so in the phase of the fixture design process positioning pins and surfaces are used to...

in this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks scheduling and sending them to appr...
