Matrices used in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) compile expert knowledge as pair-wise comparisons among various criteria and alternatives in decision-making problems. Many items are usually considered in the same ...
AHP (analytic hierarchy process) is used to construct coherent aggregate results from preference data provided by decision makers. Pairwise comparison, used by AHP, shares a common weakness with other input formats used ...

Las fugas en los sistemas de distribución de agua están provocadas por todos aquellos fallos en las tuberías, accesorios o tanques de almacenamiento que provocan una pérdida de agua. La cantidad de agua que se pierde por ...
The various mechanisms that represent the know-how of decision-makers are exposed to a common weakness, namely, a lack of consistency. To overcome this weakness within AHP (analytic hierarchy process), we propose a framework ...
Decision making (DM) processes are becoming increasingly complex. The reasons are manifold. DM usually involves many aspects; some are purely technical, while others are subjective and derived from social, political, and ...
Decision making in engineering is becoming increasingly complex due to the large number
of alternatives and multiple conflicting goals. Powerful decision-support expert systems
powered by suitable software are increasingly ...
