This article addresses the possibility of incorporating intelligent decision support systems into reinsurance decision-making. This involves the insurance company and the reinsurance company, and is negotiated through reinsurance intermediaries. The article proposes a decision flow to model the reinsurance design and selection process. This article focuses on adopting more than one optimality c...

Implementation of an ecosystem approach to natural resource management requires evaluation of a broad array of ecological services in a multidimensional, community-based watershed approach that empowers people to make informed management decisions. Conventional economic approaches that assign values to ecological services (contingent valuation) or that evaluate the efficiency of preserving and ...

(ABSTRACT) This study presents a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) framework in support of strategic resource planning of electric utilities. Study efforts have focused on four technical issues identified to be essentially important to the process of strategic resource development, i.e., decision data expansion, MADM analysis with imprecise information, MADM analysis under uncertainty and ...

Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) play an important role in many applications, due to the efficiency to handle indeterminate and inconsistent information, interval neutrosophic sets is widely used to model indeterminate information. In this paper, a new MADM method based on interval neutrosophic trapezoid linguistic weighted arithmetic averaging aggregation (INTrLWAA) operator and interval...

Play an important role in many applications, due to the efficiency to handle indeterminate and inconsistent information, single valued neutrosophic sets is widely used to model indeterminate information.

Selection of an appropriate Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method for providing a solution to given MADM problem is always challenging endeavour. The challenge even greater situations where specific there exist multiple methods with similar degree suitability. Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and its dominant variant the Modified TOPSIS are two very ap...

Due to the complexity and uncertainty of objective things, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (I-VIF) numbers are often used describe attribute values in multiple-attribute decision making (MADM). Sometimes, there correlations between attributes. In order make decision-making result more reasonable, it is necessary take correlation factors into account. Therefore, study MADM based on attribut...

Most of data in Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. Therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. In this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can determ...

In Gal and Hanne [Eur. J. Oper. Res. 119 (1999) 373] the problem of using several methods to solve a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with linear objective functions after dropping nonessential objectives is analyzed. It turned out that the solution does not need be the same when using various methods for solving the system containing the nonessential objectives or not. In this ...
