Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many real-world problems are multi-criteria problems that naturally involve several competing objectives that are required to be optimized simultaneously, while respecting some constraints or selecting among feasible discrete alternatives. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is an effective systematic and quantitative way to deal with issues in the presence of several alternatives and several usually different criteria. Decision makers over the past few decades have successfully used MCDM approaches to solve problems in a variety of fields, such as engineering, management, business, economic, transport and logistic, and more. Later, fuzzy set theory laid the foundations for modeling of uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision. MCDM has considerably expanded beyond classical and formal methodologies and has also involved intuitive and informal processes. Therefore, in addition to conventional MCDM methods, this Special Issue also welcomes their integration with uncertainty theory, such as fuzzy sets, rough sets, neutrosophic sets, etc. And for making decisions on very complex problems, appropriate and reliable solution algorithms and decision support systems are required. Therefore, we invite authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research presenting engineering, managerial and other problems’ solving algorithms dealing with multiple criteria decision making both in certain and uncertain environment.
