Rank aggregation is a vital tool in facilitating decision-making processes that consider multiple criteria or attributes. While in many applications, the available ranked lists are often limited and quite partial for various reasons. This ...

• We address the problem of rank aggregation with limited information.
• We present a networked representation of ranking information.
• We employ the link prediction to mine potential ranking information.

The intrusion detection system (IDS) is the first and the most significant shield in Internet security. Nevertheless, with regard to confronting unknown attacks, such as zero-day attacks, it is difficult for IDS to detect and respond. ...

As an important part of strategic analysis and strategic evaluation, the analysis of organizational decision-making behavior is widely used in strategic research and application fields such as politics, military affairs and economy. At present, the ...

For the airports worldwide, it is important to establish a "passenger integrity system" based on the basic information of passengers and their related credit system. Correspondingly, this paper develops a new risk assessment model for the ...

Computers are increasingly used in teams in various contexts, for example in negotiations. Especially when using computer-support for decision-making processes, it is an important question whether active collaboration within the team – ...

• Regularly representatives lead negotiations on behalf of a team.
• Members of a ...

Next generation multimode terminals have the capability to support different classes of calls simultaneously as well as the ability to connect to two or more radio access technologies (RATs), at the same time, in a heterogeneous wireless network. For a ...

We introduce Robust Ordinal Regression to decision under uncertainty.We propose an integrated framework for robustness analysis with the rule-based preference model.We formulate the procedures for deriving a univocal classification of acts.We account ...

The aim of this paper is to present an approach for selecting Web services during the process of building an orchestration/composition, on the basis of some Quality of service (QoS) features. The specific proposal is to consider decision maker's ...

In multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, the conflict-elimination process is a vital procedure to get an agreement with low degree of conflict for emergency decision of unconventional incidents. In this paper, we put forward a ...

A method for constructing a linguistic scale and a voting procedure are proposed.The individuals and decision context are inserted in the language modeling process.The semantic values obtained for these terms can lead to an unbalanced scale.Decision-...

This paper proposes a mathematical framework and methodology for group decision-making under multi-granular and multi-attribute linguistic assessments. It is based on distances between linguistic assessments and a degree of consensus. Distances in the ...

In this paper, we propose a dynamical consensus scheme which makes use of an index of comparability and of an index of concordance to regulate the information flow in the discussion among the experts. In addition to the traditional use of a concordance ...

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers and the attribute values take the form of intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables, new ...

We introduce the principle of robust ordinal regression to multiple criteria group decision, and we present two new methods using a set of additive value functions as a preference model, called UTA^G^M^S-GROUP and UTADIS^G^M^S-GROUP. With respect to the ...

Research highlights The Group Analytic Hierarchy Process Ordering method, a new MCDA method, has been developed. It can model three relations between alternatives: preference, indifference, and incomparability. It incorporates 'fairness' when assigning ...

This paper deals with the problem of aggregating individual preferences in order to obtain a social order. In particular, a preference aggregation procedure is proposed for those cases in which the decision-makers express their preferences by means of a ...

This paper present a new extension Promethee II method based on generalized fuzzy numbers. Considering the fuzziness in the decision data, linguistic variables that can be expressed in generalized fuzzy numbers are used, to assess the weights of all ...

This paper presents a mathematical framework to assess the consensus found among different evaluators who use ordinal scales in group decision-making and evaluation processes. This framework is developed on the basis of the absolute order-of-magnitude ...

What we are proposing in this paper is the object, architecture, design and implementation of a Web-Based Simulation Meta-Synthesis, named WebSMS. The motivation of the WebSMS system is to provide services for distributed and secure sharing and reuse of ...

In practice, in purchasing decision-making, many quantitative and qualitative factors, with vagueness and imprecision, have to be considered. This makes the decision process very complicated and unstructured. Besides the fuzzy sets theory, vague sets ...
