The Heterogeneous Wireless Network (HWN) integrates different wireless networks into one common network. The integrated networks often overlap coverage in the same wireless service areas, leading to the availability of a great variety of innovative services based on user demands in a costefficient manner. Joint Admission Control (JAC) handles all new or handoff service requests in the HWN. It c...

Applying the preference ranking organisation method for enrichment of evaluations (PROMETHEE II), this study attempts to rank Islamic and conventional indices from 20 developed 18 emerging markets based on performance their MSCI country between 2002 2016. The finds that Danish Index at top Hungarian bottom. Moreover, predominantly perform better than counterparts in vice versa markets.

A computer program was created to conduct a comparative study of five Multi-Criteria Evaluation Methods (MCEMs), each of which is capable of evaluating alternatives in a resource management setting. The MCEMs included Weighted Average (WA), Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE II), Compromise Programming (CP), ELimination and Choice Translating REality (E...

In this paper, a multi-criteria facility location model is represented. The model is meant to support relief organisations to determine the best warehouse location to stock emergency relief supplies in the pre-disaster phase of a natural disaster. As a result of the prepositioning of the goods the relief organisations are able to respond immediately to an occurring disaster. In consideration of...

For most decision making problems, finding representative parameters of a decision maker’s preferences remains a challenging task. We here adapt to the Promethee II outranking method an eliciting procedure named Q-Eval that has been developed in the context of multi-attribute utility. It refines the estimation of the preference parameters by iteratively querying the DM through pairwise action c...

Forthcoming wireless environment is a fusion of numerous networks with diverse technologies deployed by individual operators. In such an environment, innovative network selection methodologies are required not only to provide “always best connected” service to mobile users but also to maximize network operator’s revenue. To fulfill such requirements, multiple attributes from each network are to...

The fundamental objective of supply chain management (SCM) is to integrate various suppliers to satisfy market demand. Supplier evaluation and selection is very important for establishing an effective supply chain. As a matter of fact, supplier selection consists of both qualitative and quantitative criteria, so it is considered as a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Under incomple...
