Multi Attribute Decision Making

In decision-making process, decision-makers may make different decisions because of their different experiences and knowledge. The abnormal preference value given by the biased decision-maker (the value that is too large or too small in the original data) may affect the decision result. To make the decision fair and objective, this paper combines the advantages of the power average (PA) operator and the Bonferroni mean (BM) operator to define the generalized fuzzy soft power Bonferroni mean (GFSPBM) operator and the generalized fuzzy soft weighted power Bonferroni mean (GFSWPBM) operator. The new operator not only considers the overall balance between data and information but also considers the possible interrelationships between attributes. The excellent properties and special cases of these ensemble operators are studied. On this basis, the idea of the bidirectional projection method based on the GFSWPBM operator is introduced, and a multi-attribute decision-making method, with a correlation between attributes, is proposed. The decision method proposed in this paper is applied to a software selection problem and compared to the existing methods to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Decision Making Model

Evacuation for a firefighter in complex fire scene is challenge problem. In this paper, we discuss a firefighters evacuation decision making model in ad hoc robot network on fire scene. Due to the dynamics on fire scene, we know that the sensed information in ad hoc robot network is also dynamically variance. So in this paper, we adapt dynamic decision method, Markov decision process, to model the firefighters decision making process for evacuation from fire scene. In firefighting decision making process, we know that the critical problems are how to define action space and evaluate the transition law in Markov decision process. In this paper, we discuss those problems according to the triangular sensors situation in ad hoc robot network and describe a decision making model for a firefighters evacuation the in the end.

Use Of Technology

The use of technology to assist in the performance of daily activities and to carry out communication between individuals has become a necessary task in the face of technological advances. In the context of public institutions, the insertion of technology is also based on the possibilities of making the activities of this sector more efficient and better quality, in addition to allowing greater transparency and accessibility of information for society. For public managers, the information and communication technology tools allow for a more accurate assessment of the variables and possibilities involved in a decision-making process and, thus, to make better decisions in a sector whose main customer is society (users). Therefore, this paper aimed to analyze the use and acceptance of a decision support tool in a public educational institution called the Indicators Panel. For this, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used, and the results were measured using the paraconsistent logic. The results indicate that it is possible to consider the use and acceptance of the decision support system in the public educational institution by reducing the propositions of the UTAUT Model in three factors: Usability, Performance, and Relationship. Regarding the UTAUT Model, it was found that the moderating variables of gender, age, and experience do not significantly influence the adoption of the decision support system. It is important to note that managers point the tool as very important for the development of their activities and emphasize that ease of use is one of the main points for the adoption of technology.

PurposeThis paper is to propose a novel generalized grey target decision method (GGTDM) with index and weight both containing mixed types of data.Design/methodology/approachThe decision-making steps of the proposed approach are as follows. First, all mixed attribute values of alternatives and weights are transformed into binary connection numbers and also comprised two-tuple (determinacy, uncertainty) numbers. Then, the two-tuple (determinacy, uncertainty) numbers of target center indices are calculated. Next, the certain weights are determined by the Gini–Simpson (G–S) index-based method. Following this, the comprehensive-weighted Kullback–Leibler distances (CWKLDs) of all alternatives and the target center are obtained. Finally, the alternative ranking relies on the CWKLD considering the smaller value as the better option.FindingsThe certain weights determined by the improved Gini–Simpson index (IGSI) based method are more accurate in compared with that by the proximity-based method and the weight function method. The discrimination ability of alternatives ranking of the proposed approach is stronger than that of the compared comprehensive-weighted proximity (CWP) based method and comprehensive-weighted Gini–Simpson index (CWGSI) based method.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed method fulfills the decision-making task relying on CWKLD, which solves the uncertain measurement from the viewpoint of entropy.Originality/valueThe proposed approach adopts the IGSI to transform uncertain weights into certain ones and takes the CWKLD as the basis for the decision-making.

For the multi-attribute decision making with time series, based on the comprehensive consideration of various indicators of quality and growth degree, with grey relational analysis on less data, uncertain information can be integrated comparison, so we put forward a new decision method considering the decision maker subjective views, and provide a scientific and rational decision-making method. By the example, that method is viable.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose the grey target decision method based on three-parameter interval grey number for dealing with multi-attribute decision-making problems under uncertain environment. Design/methodology/approach – First, the kernel and ranking method of three-parameter interval grey number are defined, which is the basis of determining the positive and negative bull’s-eye. Next, a new distance measure of three-parameter interval grey number is defined in view of the importance of the “center of gravity” point. Furthermore, a new comprehensive bull’s-eye distance is proposed based on the kernel which integrates the distance between different attributes to the positive and negative bull’s-eye. Then attribute weights are obtained by comprehensive bull’s-eye distance minimum and grey entropy maximization. Findings – The paper provides a grey target decision method based on three-parameter interval grey number and example analysis shows that the method proposed in this paper is more reasonable and effective. Research limitations/implications – If we have a better understanding of the distribution characteristics of three-parameter interval grey number, it is possible to have a more reasonable measure of the distance of three-parameter interval grey number. Practical implications – The paper provides a grey target decision method, which can help decision maker deal with multi-attribute decision-making problems under uncertain environment. Originality/value – This paper proposed the kernel and ranking method of three-parameter interval grey number, and defined a new distance measure of three-parameter interval grey number and proposed a new comprehensive bull’s-eye distance, Furthermore, this paper structured a grey target decision method based on three-parameter interval grey number.

Each local, self-government unit which is planning to develop and later implement the project of landconsolidation is confronted with the problem of choosing the cadastral municipality for landmanagement via land consolidation. The appliance of multi-criteria decision method enables and helpsthe decision makers to act regularly and correctly when making a decision. Multi-criteria analysis,above all, enables decision making in conflict conditions. These conditions include multiple alternativesand criteria, from which some should be maximized, and others minimized. This paper deals with theproblematic of the ranking of cadastral municipalities in which land management should be performedwith the use of land consolidation, by applying COPRAS method. The paper also presents theevaluation of the defined model in the Municipality of Pećinci.
