Abstract This study introduces a novel distance measure (DM) for spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) to improve decision-making in complex and uncertain environments. Many existing distance measures either fail to satisfy essential axiomatic properties or produce unintuitive outcomes. To address these limitations, we propose a new three-dimensional divergence-based DM that ensures mathematical consistency, enhances the discrimination of information, and adheres to the axiomatic framework of distance theory. Building on this foundation, we construct a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model that utilizes the proposed DM to evaluate and rank alternatives effectively. The applicability and robustness of the model are More >

Abstract VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) has been developed and applied for over twenty-five years, gaining recognition as a prominent multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. Over this period, numerous studies have explored its applications, conducted comparative analyses, integrated it with other methods, and proposed various modifications to enhance its performance. This paper aims to delve into the fundamental principles and objectives of VIKOR, which aim to maximize group utility and minimize individual regret simultaneously. However, this study identifies a significant limitation in the VIKOR methodology: its process amplifies the weight of individual regret, and the calculated… More >

Abstract This study evaluates the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) as a multi-criteria decision (MCD) support tool for selecting appropriate additive manufacturing (AM) techniques that align with cleaner production and environmental sustainability. The FAHP model was validated using an example of the production of aircraft components (specifically fuselage) employing AM technologies such as Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), Binder Jetting (BJ), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). The selection criteria prioritized eco-friendly manufacturing considerations, including the quality and properties of the final product (e.g., surface finish, high strength,… More >

Abstract This paper introduces fuzzy N-bipolar soft (FN-BS) sets, a novel mathematical framework designed to enhance multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes under uncertainty. The study addresses a significant limitation in existing models by unifying fuzzy logic, the consideration of bipolarity, and the ability to evaluate attributes on a multinary scale. The specific contributions of the FN-BS framework include: (1) a formal definition and set-theoretic foundation, (2) the development of two innovative algorithms for solving decision-making (DM) problems, and (3) a comparative analysis demonstrating its superiority over established models. The proposed framework is applied to a real-world case More >

Abstract The implementation of Countermeasure Techniques (CTs) in the context of Network-On-Chip (NoC) based Multiprocessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) routers against the Flooding Denial-of-Service Attack (F-DoSA) falls under Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) due to the three main concerns, called: traffic variations, multiple evaluation criteria-based traffic features, and prioritization NoC routers as an alternative. In this study, we propose a comprehensive evaluation of various NoC traffic features to identify the most efficient routers under the F-DoSA scenarios. Consequently, an MCDM approach is essential to address these emerging challenges. While the recent MCDM approach has some issues, such as uncertainty, this… More >

Abstract This paper presents a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model for selecting optimal locations for a solar-wind hybrid energy plant in Vietnam. The study employs the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) and Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) methods to address the challenge of evaluating potential sites based on a range of economic, technical, environmental, and social criteria. By integrating CRITIC for criteria weighting and CoCoSo for ranking alternatives, the study underscores the importance of objective, data-driven approaches in the strategic planning and implementation of sustainable energy projects.

Abstract Flooding is a natural event often associated with floodplain areas, characterised by large, sudden and significant rises in river water levels that drastically alters the surrounding landscape. The research employs ArcGIS tools, multi-criteria evaluation techniques and the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model to assess flood hazard zones. The key physical elements of slope, elevation, rainfall, drainage density, land use, and soil types have been integrated to identify areas vulnerable to flooding. Overlay analysis has been used to construct zones specifically designated for flood hazards. Additionally, pairwise comparison using Saaty’s scale was employed to calculate the Eigenvector More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are characterized by heterogeneous traffic types (audio, video, data) and diverse application traffic requirements. This paper introduces three traffic classes following the defined model of heterogeneous traffic differentiation in WSNs. The requirements for each class regarding sensitivity to QoS (Quality of Service) parameters, such as loss, delay, and jitter, are described. These classes encompass real-time and delay-tolerant traffic. Given that QoS evaluation is a multi-criteria decision-making problem, we employed the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method for multi-criteria optimization. As a result of this approach, we derived weight values for different traffic… More >

Abstract In regions with unpredictable rainfall and limited water supply, it’s crucial to pinpoint areas with high potential for groundwater and find the best spots for groundwater resource development. This study utilizes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in combination with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to evaluate the potential groundwater zones in the Gombora watershed within the Omo Gibe basin in Ethiopia. Combining these two tools provided a detailed map showing potential groundwater areas. These zones are determined based on various thematic maps containing information about geology, soil texture, lineament density, slope, land use, and drainage density.… More >

Abstract This socialized environment among educated and developed people causes them to focus more on their appearance and health, which turns them towards medical-related treatments, leading us to discuss anti-aging treatment methods for each age group, particularly for urban people who are interested in this. Some anti-aging therapies are used to address the alterations brought on by aging in human life without the need for surgery or negative effects. Five anti-aging therapies such as microdermabrasion or dermabrasion, laser resurfacing anti-aging skin treatments, chemical peels, dermal fillers for aged skin, and botox injections are considered in this… More >
