Representing and reasoning over different forms of preferences is of crucial importance to many different fields, especially where numerical comparisons need to be made between critical options. Focusing on the well-known Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method, we propose a two-layered framework for addressing different kinds of conditional preferences which include partial information ov...

In the last twenty years many features of Saaty's Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) have been criticised, especially the additive hierarchical composition of conventional AHP, which leads to the possibility of occurrence of the Rank Reversal phenomenon (adding an irrelevant alternative may cause a reversal in the ranking at the top). In the context of a variable number of alternatives this ran...

There are many mechanical and/or electrical energy storage devices nowadays which can be mounted on standard bicycles. The current trend regarding bicycle is to develop and improve electronic systems that ease transportation. However, this paper shows the design process of a purely device, with no components, instead aims entertain user, producing stimulus related speed physical exertion. devic...
