Metaheuristics for Multi Criteria Path Optimisation
… the path-planning problem is one that is multi-criteria in nature though given the complexity of the task is one that is often condensed to a single criterion issue, either by the consideration of only a single objective or condensing several criteria into a single metric through …

Multi-criteria analysis in naval ship design
… optimization problems involve systems with multiple and often contradictory criteria. Such contradictory criteria have been an issue for marine/naval engineering design studies for many years. This problem becomes more important when one considers novel ship types with very limited or no …

Multi-criteria optimisation for complex learning prediction systems.
… work presents a framework for the inclusion of multiple criteria in the design process of supervised learning algorithms; as well as studies the sophisticated interactions among them. The criteria included and tested experimentally in this thesis are: accuracy, model complexity, algorithmic …

Computational Studies in Multi-Criteria Scheduling and Optimization
Multi-criteria scheduling provides the opportunity to create mathematical optimization models that are applicable to a diverse set of problem domains in the business world. This research addresses two different employee scheduling applications using multi-criteria objectives that present decision …

Multi-Criteria Decision Based Left-turn Signal Control Guideline
… The guideline is based on the principles of multi-criteria decision analysis and provides an index-based recommendation. This method determines a numerical scale provided a comparison among the three types of left-turn control instead of an absolute left-turn control type. Using the data …

Multi-criteria Preference Aggregation Framework for Sustainable Energy Planning
… identify a problem, determine the criteria to be consider and their importance, recognize the stakeholders that need to be involved and pose the different alternatives to resolve or to best address the problem. These techniques range from simple to more mathematically oriented ones, …

Simplified models for multi-criteria decision analysis under uncertainty
… the final decision taken. Many models exist for multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) under conditions of uncertainty; perhaps the most well-known are those based on multi-attribute utility theory [MAUT, e.g. 147], which uses probability distributions to represent uncertainty. The great …

A stochastic multi-criteria assessment of security of transportation assets
… to an increase in the number of performance criteria in the evaluation, the dissertation adopts a multiple-criteria analysis approach. The methodology quantifies the overall security level for an infrastructure in terms of the threats it faces, its resilience to damage, and the consequences …

Location Aware Multi-criteria Recommender System for Intelligent Data Mining
… most implementations consider only single criteria ratings, and consequently are unable to identify why a user prefers an item over others. Many systems classify the user into one single group or cluster which is an unrealistic approach, since in real world users share commonalities in …

A dynamic multi-criteria analysis of spent-nuclear-fuel alternatives
A generalized multiple-objective research and development (R & D) capital budgeting model incorporating production-allocation decisions is developed for the analysis of the spent-nuclear-fuel management problem. The generalized model is decomposed into two subproblems. First is a multiple-objective …

Generic benchmarking for application specific wireless sensor networks multi criteria performance
… performance analysis fairly complex. In multi criteria QoS context, this problem is further magnified by big design space with not yet fully understood parameters and the competing relationship between multi objective performance metrics. This work introduces a generic …

A land evaluation model for irrigated crops using multi-criteria analysis.
… and wheat in Benghazi region of Libya using multi-criteria analysis (MCA) of fuzzy logic and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the MCA, fourteen land suitability factors including twelve soil characteristics, topography and erosion hazard were evaluated. Local experts used their …

Multi-criteria Mapping and Scheduling of Workflow Applications onto Heterogeneous Platforms
… treated in steady-state mode. Several antagonist criteria should be optimized, such as throughput and latency (or a combination) as well as latency and reliability (i.e., the probability that the computation will be successful) of the application. While simple polynomial algorithms can be found …

Energy-efficient multi-criteria packet forwarding in multi-hop wireless networks
Reliable multi-hop packet forwarding is an important requirement for the implementation of realistic large-scale wireless ad-hoc networks. However, packet forwarding methods based on a single criterion, such as the traditional greedy geographic forwarding, are not sufficient in most realistic …

Multi-criteria decision support for energy-efficient IoT edge computing offloading
… and autonomous manner. We initially propose the Multi-critEria DecIsion support meChanism for IoT offloading(MEDICI), which runs independently on an IoT device, enabling it to make offloading decisions dynamically, based on multiple criteria, such as the state of the IoT, edge or cloud devices …
