Our current work concerns the development of a decision support system for the software selection problem. The main idea is to utilize expert knowledge to help the user in selecting the best software / method / computational resource to solve a computational problem. Obviously, this involves multicriterial decision making and the key open question is: which method to choose. The context of the ...

The Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) has been a fast growing area of operations research and management science during the last decades, while the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) is one of the well-known MCDA methods with ranking the alternatives from the best to the worst. In this paper, we propose a new outranking method called Prioritized...

Effects of alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment on cellulose crystallinity and cell wall phenolic monomer and monosaccharide composition were measured using cotton and wheat straw (WS). Two WS treatments were used in this study, Type I WS, for which pH is not regulated during AHP treatment, and Type II WS, for which pH is regulated at 11.5 -+ .2 during AHP treatment. Wheat straw had a low...

Abstract Algeria is currently experiencing a real water shortage and leaks in the distribution networks, which affect supply. To reduce losses, authorities have adopted rehabilitation policy that requires resources are not necessarily available. In this context, aim of study to develop decision support methodology for managers enable them plan urgent evaluate benefits generated. The consists tw...

Assessment of hydropower projects with respect to sustainability criteria is a multidimensional and complex issue. It requires considering technical, environmental, social parameters instead purely economic ones in decision making for energy planning. The flexibility consider several objectives simultaneously leads the use multicriteria (MCDM) methods which are well accepted field This paper ai...

Important elements for the success of the PROMETHEE methods have been the development of numerous extensions and interactive software. The purpose of the paper is to show the evolution of the PROMETHEE methods and of their software implementation over time. Starting with PROMCALC and the first visual sensitivity analysis tools (Walking Weights), we stress less known extensions of the methodolog...

The purpose of this paper is to streamline the supply corn, one key ingredients in production bioethanol. Using a comprehensive sustainable framework criteria (including social, economic, and environmental dimensions), potential locations corn cultivation Iran are examined from multi-criteria decision analysis perspective. To end, we need find importance relevant evaluation ranking method rank ...
