By using a number of linear programming models, Bryson and Mobolurin propose an approach to compute attribute weights and overall values of the alternatives in the form of interval numbers. The intervals of the overall values of alternatives are then transformed into points or crisp values for comparisons among the alternatives. However, the attribute weights are different because of the use of linear programming models in Bryson and Mobolurin's approach. Thus, the alternatives are not comparable because different attribute weights are employed to calculate the overall values of the alternatives. A new approach is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of Bryson and Mobolurin's approach. By transforming the decision matrix with intervals into the one with crisp values, a new linear programming model is proposed, to calculate the attribute weights for conducting alternative ranking.展开更多

A score function is first used to calculate the score of each attribute value and a score matrix is constructed, and then it is transformed into a normalized score matrix. Based on the normalized score matrix, an entropy-based procedure is proposed to derive attribute weights. Furthermore, the additive weighted averaging operator is utilized to fuse all the normalized scores into the overall scores of alternatives, by which the ranking of all the given alternatives is obtained. This paper is concluded by extending the above results to interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, and an illustrative example is also provided.展开更多

Therefore, our rese...Function allocation is one of the necessary stages in the design course of man-machine systems since appropriate function allocation makes the whole system more effective, reliable and inexpensive. Therefore, our research mainly focuses on the problems of function allocation between man and machine in man-machine systems, analyses each capability advantage of man and machine according to their respective inherent characteristics and makes a comparison between them. In view of highly uncertain characteristics of decision attribute value in the practical process, we introduce the uncertain linguistic multiple attribute decision making (ULMADM) method in the function allocation process. Meanwhile, we also use the uncertain extended weighted arithmetic averaging (UEWAA) method to determine the automation level range of the operator functions. Then, we eventually estab- lish the automation level of man-machine function allocation by using the multi-attribute decision making algorithm, which is combined by UEWAA and uncertain linguistic hybrid aggregation (ULHA) operators. Finally, an example about function allocation is given, that is, fault diagnosis in the cockpit of civil aircraft. The final result of the example demonstrates that the proposed method about function allocation is feasible and effective.展开更多

Many uncertain factors and high risk are inherent in the implementation of new green manufacturing methods. Because of the shortage of successful examples and complete and certain knowledge, decision-making methods using probabilities to represent risk, which need many examples, cannot be used to evaluate risk in the implementation of green manufacturing projects. Therefore, a fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making (FMADM) method was developed with a three-level hierarchical decision-making model to evaluate the aggregate risk for green manufacturing projects. A case study shows that the hierarchical decision-making model of the aggregate risk and the FMADM method effectively reflect the characteristics of the risk in green manufacturing projects.展开更多

By introducing confidence measures and a β-reduct, the VPRS model can rationally solve the conflicting decision analysis problem with multiple decision attributes and multiple condition attributes. For illustration, a medical diagnosis example is utilized to show the feasibility of the VPRS model in solving the MADA problem with multiple decision attributes and multiple condition attributes. Empirical results show that the decision rule with the highest confidence measures will be used as the final decision rules in the MADA problem with multiple conflicting decision attributes and multiple condition attributes if there are some conflicts among decision rules resulting from multiple decision attributes. The confidence-measure-based VPRS model can effectively solve the conflicts of decision rules from multiple decision attributes and thus a class of MADA problem with multiple conflicting decision attributes and multiple condition attributes are solved.展开更多

However, most previous works focus only on one-dimensional resource models which ignoring the fact that multiple resources simultaneously utilized, including CPU, memory and network bandwidth. As cloud computing allows uncoordinated and heterogeneous users to share a data center, competition for multiple resources has become increasingly severe. Motivated by the differences on integrated utilization obtained from different packing schemes, in this paper we take the scheduling problem as a multi-dimensional combinatorial optimization problem with constraint satisfaction. With NP hardness, we present Multiple attribute decision based Integrated Resource Scheduling (MIRS), and a novel heuristic algorithm to gain the approximate optimal solution. Refers to simulation results, in face of various workload sets, our algorithm has significant superiorities in terms of efficiency and performance compared with previous methods.展开更多

In order to deal with this inconvenience, the transformation relationships among multigranular linguistic labels (TRMLLs), which are applied to unify linguistic labels with different granularities into a certain linguistic label set with fixed granularity, are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the reference tables are made according to TRMLLs so that the interrelated calculation will be less complicated, and the method of how to use them is explained in detail. At length, the TRMLLs are illustrated through an application example.展开更多
