the present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in chaharmil mechanized farming center, ardestan town, isfahan province, iran. climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (analytical hierarchy p...

Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems often involve a complex decision process in which multiple requirements and fuzzy conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. The existing approaches for solving this problem in a fuzzy environment are complex. Combining the concepts of grey relation and pairwise comparison, a new fuzzy MCDM method is proposed. First, the fuzzy an...

determining strategy, as a very effective tool for policy (and especially science and technology policy), helps governments to be able in the challenges such as globalization and increased competition, and have an appropriate respond in the world today. although some scattered researches about strategy determining have been conducted in iran, the purpose of them is to recognize the future of it...

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the bal-anced scorecard in Government MIS Department. The frame of Government MIS Department performance applying the balanced scorecard methodol-ogy, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy AHP is developed by review the studies of balanced scorecard and information systems. Then, this study adopted 13 valid questionnaires in the Taiwan’s ...

Now-a-days software manufacturing companies usually try to capture market share with rapid software development. Actually the development of high quality software products can decrease cost by reducing rework and increasing productivity. For that, reason selection of software projects is an important task. Several factors come into consideration while selection of proper project for a specified...

Several approaches are followed in project scheduling under multiple resources. Typically, priorities for each activity are obtained using qualitative data. In this paper, both quantitative and qualitative data are considered in a fuzzy environment. A Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy process is developed to obtain weightages for each activity that needs multiple resources. Fuzzy AHP efficiently handl...

fuzzylogic computes a multi-criteria evaluation by means of either a boolean analysis, weightedlinear combination (wlc) and ordered weighted averaging (owa) of factor images. owa works withstandardized factor images and employs a variant of the wlc. it takes into account the risk associated withthe decision and degree of tradeoff associated with the variables in the analysis. in this research, ...

Any decision is closely linked to the quality and availability of information. Innovative methodologies are proposed to help decisions based on imperfect information provided by more or less reliable and conflicting sources in uncertain context. These methods combine new uncertainty theories and multicriteria decision making. The ER-MCDA methodology associates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AH...

Industrial engineering is a field of profession that offers various work areas around the world. Since it has a wide variety of work areas, students encounter with the problem of taking a decision on which sector to work in the future. Therefore, a questionnaire has been conducted on 60 students who study at Industrial Engineering department at different universities in Turkey. Fuzzy AHP (Analy...

Maintainability is an important quality attribute for almost every quality model. Maintainability of the software is considered as most expensive phase in software development life cycle as it consumes almost major part of the total effort allocated to the software system. Maintainability evaluation is complex due to its imprecise output. This paper proposes a maintainability model by consideri...
