A comparative study of ranking river basin planning and development alternatives under a multi-criterion environment, including both qualitative and quantitative aspects using ELECTRE and RANFUW methodologies, is presented in this paper. The purpose is to find the most suitable planning for reservoirs with their associated purposes aimed at the sustained development of one of the major peninsul...

Purpose: This paper presents an algorithm that can elicitate (infer) all or any combination of ELECTRE Tri-B parameters. For example, a decision-maker maintain the values for indifference, preference, and veto thresholds, our find criteria weights, reference profiles, lambda cutting level. Our approach is inspired by Machine Learning ensemble technique, Random Forest, that, we named as Tree alg...

The decision making problem with interval numbers is an important topic of uncertain multiple attribute decision making. A difficulty to solve the interval decision making problems is the ranking method of interval numbers, because among the interval numbers exist cross, it’s difficult to ranking the alternatives directly. This paper studied how to make use of the traditional method for certain...

Society’s attitude toward seismic risk, in the last few years, has evolved from fatalistic to proactive. This paper presents an approach in the area of seismic risk management. The objective is to implement a methodology in a seismic prone area in an earthquake risk management framework, based on the case study of the island of Lefkada. A tool to assist in the selection of an intervention proac...

An outsourcing contract problem has been analyzed. This is a typical problem when dealing with outsourcing vendor selection. For each alternative of an outsourcing contract there is an evaluation of both cost and quality of service. The latter may include probabilistic delivery time and confidence in quality commitment. The decision-maker takes into account multicriteria evaluation through ELEC...

An e-learning architecture selection has been analyzed. This is a typical problem when dealing with e-learning system selection. For each alternative of an e-learning architecture there is an evaluation of both cost and quality of service. The latter may include probabilistic delivery time and confidence in quality commitment. The decision-maker takes into account multi-criteria evaluation thro...

In this paper it is outlined the methodology of the model MIREM (Multicriteria Industrial and Regional Economic Model) as the empirical framework for the implementation of an industrial policy in the CEECs countries aspiring to enter the European Union. Its epistemological foundations are taken from M. Porter Theory of Competitive Advantage and B. Balassa Theory of Economic Integration and focu...
