Multi-Agent Data Mining (MADM) seeks to harness the general advantages offered by Multi-Agent System (MAS) with respect to the domain of data mining. The research described in this thesis is concerned with Multi-Agent Based Clustering (MABC), thus MADM to support clustering. To investigate the use of MAS technology with respect to data mining, and specifically data clustering, two approaches ar...

In this paper, we propose a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm based on Multi-AttributeDecision-Making (MADM) strategy under possibility environment. Further, provide numerical example to show the applicability and rationality of proposed MADM strategy.

India is the second largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, next only to China. The Chinese bicycle industry has already been successful in cornering almost 25 per cent share in fancy bicycle market in India which is a major cause of worry for the small-scale bicycle parts manufacturers in India. An attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive framework for the selection process of bicyc...

Application of Group Decision Support System (GDSS) can assist for delivering the decision of various opinions (preference) cancer detection based on the preferences of various expertise. In this paper we propose ELECTRE-Entropy for GDSS Modeling. We propose entropy weighting for each criteria under ELECTRE Method.ELECTRE is one method in MultiAttribute Decision Making (MADM). Modeling of Group...

This paper investigates the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with preference information on alternatives. An integrated approach is proposed to solve the MADM problems, where decision makers' subjective preference information on alternatives are given in different formats, uniformed and aggregated. The resulting social subjective preference information on the alternatives is i...

One of the most important factors in quality improvement of transportation, communication, accommodation, utilities, etc is urban infrastructures development. Certainly, with the intention of achieving the goal, approaches to urban infrastructures management must be ranked by Scientific and logical evaluation and calculation. This paper presents evaluation of governmental, private, and public–p...

This paper reports the development of a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) modelling framework and methodology for application to the scoring process against the criteria of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Model for Excellence. The MADM model is based on the evidential reasoning approach with the focus of the initial development and application on the people managem...
