Clustering and group selection of multiple criteria alternatives with application to space-based networks
Behnam Malakooti,Ziyong Yang +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes clustering alternatives into different groups so that different methods of analysis, selection, and implementation for each group can be applied and demonstrates how the set of alternatives is clustered into mutually exclusive groups.

Conflicting criteria, cooperating processors—some experiments on implementing a multicriteria decision support method on a parallel computer
TL;DR: A step-by-step parallel approach to the ELECTRE III multiple criteria outranking method found that under certain circumstances the speedups obtained by parallel versions were attractive, namely when applied to the rest problems in which the sequential program was slower.

A decision-making solution to ship flagging out via administrative maritime strategies
Metin Celik,İlker Bekir Topçu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach using a Primarily Strategic Action Plan (PSAP) in a short run period and a Secondary Strategy Plan (SSAP) for a long-term perspective to address the flagging out issue in Turkish shipping fleet.

Method, program, and system for conducting trade studies and evaluation activities
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative evaluation of a plurality of alternative candidates is performed by creating plurality of evaluation criteria for evaluating the alternative candidates, comparing pairs of the evaluation criteria and assigning a relative weight to each compared pair, and assigning an evaluation value to the evaluation value for each candidate.

Cyclical Hierarchical Modeling for Water Quality Model–Based DSS Module in an Urban River System
TL;DR: This paper discusses the problem that exists in effectively modeling a multicriterion and nonlinear parametric system and proposes a cyclical hierarchical model that allows the user to model the effects of various environmental parameters.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

Multicomputers: message-passing concurrent computers
TL;DR: A status report on the architecture and programming of a family of concurrent computers that are organized as ensembles of small programmable computers called nodes, connected by a message-passing network, each with its own private memory is provided in this article.

Parallelism in production systems
TL;DR: The thesis proposes a parallel version of the Rete match algorithm which exploits parallelism at a very fine grain, and suggests that a suitable architecture to exploit the fine-grained parallelism is a shared-memory multiprocessor, with 32-64 high performance processors.
