Assembling and simultaneously using di↵erent types of distributed computing infrastructures (DCI) like Grids and Clouds is an increasingly common situation. Because infrastructures are characterized by di↵erent attributes such as price, performance, trust, greenness, the task scheduling problem becomes more complex and challenging. In this paper we present the design for a fault-tolerant and tr...

Robust Ordinal Regression (ROR) supports Multiple Criteria Decision Process by considering all sets of parameters of an assumed preference model, that are compatible with preference information elicited set of parameters, respectively. In this paper, we propose an extension of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE methods to the case of the hierarchy of criteria, which was never considered before. Then, we ada...

In this paper we extend the PROMETHEE methods to the case of interacting criteria on a bipolar scale, introducing the bipolar PROMETHEE method based on the bipolar Choquet integral. In order to elicit parameters compatible with preference information provided by the Decision Maker (DM), we propose to apply the Robust Ordinal Regression (ROR). ROR takes into account simultaneously all the sets o...

Promethee II is a prominent method for multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) that builds a complete ranking on a set of potential actions by assigning each of them a so-called net flow score. However, to calculate these scores, each pair of actions has to be compared, causing the computational load to increase quadratically with the number of actions, eventually leading to prohibitive execution tim...

In Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems dealing with qualitative criteria and uncertain information the use of linguistic values is suitable for the experts in order to express their judgments. It is common that the group of experts involved in such problems have different degrees of knowledge about the criteria, so we propose a multi-granular linguistic framework such that each exper...

It is generally believed that the preference ranking method PROMETHEE has a quadratic time complexity. In this paper, however, we present an exact algorithm that computes PROMETHEE’s net flow scores in time O(qn log(n)), where q represents the number of criteria and n the number of alternatives. The method is based on first sorting the alternatives after which the unicriterion flow scores of al...

The article pertains to the utilization of application potential MCDM/MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Making/Multi-Criteria Analysis) methods in decision-making problems field transport light sustainable development. consists a theoretical and an empirical part. As part literature studies, review was carried out on latest applications for transport. In part, multi-criteria analysis placement sele...

A decision support concept (DSC) for sustainable management of the bottom trawl fleet was created in line with ecosystem-based management. It is based on principles that integrate ecological, social and techno-economic aspects of trawl fisheries in a multicriteria analysis approach. For the sake of greater transparency and improved stakeholder participation, elements of the proposed multicriter...
