Survivability has been one of the active fields in network security recently. In order to evaluate the survivability of networked system effectively, this paper proposes a method of combining grey correlation analysis and improved TOPSIS for quantitative assessment. Firstly, it normalizes indicator matrix according to improved TOPSIS method and determines the positive and negative ideal solutio...

-This paper proposes a grey interval relation TOPSIS method for the decision making in which all of the attribute weights and attribute values are given by the interval grey numbers. In this paper, all of the subjective and objective weights are obtained by interval grey number and decision-making is based on four methods such as the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS, the relative approac...

In hotly competitive international industrial and economic environments, supply chain coordination (SCC) is one of active research topics in production and operation management. In this research work, we present a new consensus-based fuzzy TOPSIS approach for supply chain coordination problem. It is formulated as a multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem and solved by combining con...

The aim of the study is developing a fuzzy decision model to select a student from an Engineering college who is eligible for All Round Excellence Award for the year 2004-05 by taking subjective judgments of decision makers into consideration. Here Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach and (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS) methods are proposed....

A personalized product recommendation is an effective mechanism to overcome information overload occurred when customers conduct Internet shopping. The paper presents a personalized recommender system, which integrates semantic similarity computation and TOPSIS method. First, semantic similarity is computed by constructing semantic vector-space, in order to realize the semantic content-based fi...

This paper presents an integrated fuzzy approach for selecting R&D project. In the integrated approach, fuzzy concepts are used for decision-makers’ subjective judgments to reflect the vague nature of the selection process. Fuzzy ANP and Fuzzy TOPSIS are included in the integrated approach. Fuzzy ANP is used to determine the fuzzy weights of criteria and sub-criteria. Fuzzy TOPSIS aims to rank ...

This paper applies fuzzy set theory to evaluate the service quality of online auction. Service quality is a composition of various criteria. Among them many intangible attributes are difficult to measure. This characteristic introduces the obstacles for respondent in replying to the survey. So as to overcome this problem, we invite fuzzy set theory into the measurement of performance. By using ...

The objective of this study is to provide an effective multi criteria decision making (MCDM) approach with group decision making to evaluate different smart phone alternatives according to consumer preferences. The choice of the most appropriate phone is a very complex decision, involving several perspectives. In such complex situations intuitionistic fuzzy sets with TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) can be u...

In this study, we evaluated the effects of the normalization procedures on decision outcomes of a givenMADMmethod. For this aim, using theweights of a number of attributes calculated from FAHP method, we applied TOPSIS method to evaluate the financial performances of 13 Turkish deposit banks. In doing this, we used the most popular four normalization procedures. Our study revealed that vector n...

This study reports on the performance assessment of the Asian airlines using TOPSIS – a multi-criteria decision making technique – as the cornerstone method to compute efficiency scores. Subsequently, and observing indicators frequently found in literature, TOPSIS results on efficiency levels are combined with GLMM-MCMC methods to assess the impact of contextual variables on performance. The re...
