Product line architecture (PLA)is one of the important assets in Software Product Line (SPL). In PLA there are numerous variation points and variants in which software engineers can decide and select as the best or suitable enough design decision for the PLA. Therefore it's crucial for SPL to have an explicit architecture design decision representation to enable the important knowledge to be reused...
In this paper, we improve the Fuzzy Decision Map (FDM) by using linguistic values rather than crisp membership values for the link weights (i.e. preference and causal relationships among criteria with fuzzy linguistic). The proposed method is called the linguistic fuzzy decision network. It provides both local fuzzy weights and global fuzzy weights. The proposed method is quite appropriate to decision...
Technology transfer is one of the most important approaches for achieving R&D successes in the open innovation era. While defining technology transfer strategies, several aspects including technology feasibility, business models, etc. should be considered. However, very few scholars tried to explore how an evaluation mechanism can be structured so that an appropriate technology transfer model...
This paper proposed an integrated fuzzy approach based on Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPR) and Generalized TOPSIS. The procedure of CFPR are improved by adapting Centroid-Index as defuzzification operator, in order to represent the whole set of fuzzy numbers correctly. The CFPR requires only (n-1) pair-wise comparisons for n given criteria, where this situation prove that the increasing...
In this paper, a methodology for solving a group decision making problem is developed. The method obtains preference relationships of the alternatives after incorporating the experts' opinions about the alternatives in pair wise in linguistically or fuzzily defined terms. The importance of experts' opinions in the final ranking of the alternatives is calculated through an agreement matrix. The concept...
This study employs Regression analysis to establish the implicit importance of quality attributes and the overall satisfaction, and adopt the fuzzy DEMATEL, which consider the fuzziness of human thinking, to calculate the causal relationship and the influential degree among each quality attribute, and then proposes a new methodology of decision analysis, which modifies the traditional IPA model and...
Although ERP systems have lots of advantages for the organization, the ERP implementation is not straightforward and involves significant risks. Several studies have conducted to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) in the ERP implementation process, but most of them are lacking of systematic efforts to classify and evaluate CSFs. To achieve this aim, a structured methodology based on a fuzzy...
In this study, a method for hybrid multi-attribute decision making is developed using the information axiom, in which the attributes information of alternatives is expressed in real number, interval number and linguistic labels. Evaluation of alternatives is made for the cases of both complete and incomplete functional requirements (FRs). In real world, the design ranges of evaluation criteria are...
There are many risk factors which lead to the failure of aviation product R&D project, and usually, technical risk, cost risk and schedule risk are three primary kinds of risk. According to failure risk analysis in aviation product R&D project, a risk breakdown structure (RBS), including risk factors and risk consequences, is proposed. More over a fuzzy synthetic evaluation method based on...
