Complex and uncertain issues in supply chain result in integrated decision making processes in supply chains. So decentralized (distributed) decision making (DDM) approach is considered as a crucial stage in supply chain planning. In this paper, an uncertain DDM through coordination mechanism is addressed for a multi-product supply chain planning problem. The main concern of this study is comparison of DDM approach with centralized decision making (CDM) approach while some parameters of decision making are assumed to be uncertain. The uncertain DDM problem is modeled through fuzzy mathematical programming in which products' demands are assumed to be uncertain and modeled using fuzzy sets. Moreover, a CDM approach is customized and developed in presence of fuzzy parameters. Both approaches are solved using three fuzzy mathematical optimization methods. Hence, the contribution of this paper can be summarized as follows: 1) proposing a DDM approach for a multi-product supply chain planning problem; 2) Introducing a coordination mechanism in the proposed DDM approach in order to utilize the benefits of a CDM approach while using DDM approach; 3) Modeling the aforementioned problem through fuzzy mathematical programming; 4) Comparing the performance of proposed DDM and a customized uncertain CDM approach on multi-product supply chain planning; 5) Applying three fuzzy mathematical optimization methods in order to address and compare the performance of both DDM and CDM approaches. The results of these fuzzy optimization methods are compared. Computational results illustrate that the proposed DDM approach closely approximates the optimal solutions generated by the CDM approach while the manufacturer's and retailers' decisions are optimized through a coordination mechanism making lasting relationship.

본 논문은 목적이 네 개 이상인 고도 다목적 문제(many-objective problem)에서의 의사 결정을 위한 새로운 이중(two-tier) 최적화 접근법을 제안한다. 목적의 개수가 증가할수록, 특히 네 개 이상부터는, 전체해(solution) 중에서 파레도 최적해(Parero-optimal solution)가 차지하는 비율이 기하급수적으로 증가한다. 그래서 일반 다목적 문제와는 달리, 의사 결정을 하는데 단순히 파레토 최적 해만을 찾는 것으로는 충분하지 않고, 찾은 파레토 최적 해들 중에서도 상대적으로 좀 더 선호하는 해들을 가려내는 것이 필요하다. 제안하는 접근법에서는 추가적인 최적화 단계를 추가함으로써 사용자의 선호도를 균형있게 반영하는 방향으로 파레토 최적해들을 찾는다. 이러한 2차 최적화는 관련된 2차 목적들을 수반하게 되는데, 2차 목적으로는 광역평가값과 혼잡 거리를 사용하였다. 광역평가값과 혼잡 거리는 각각 사용자의 선호도와 다양성을 대변하는 척도이다. 제안한 접근법의 우수성을 보이기 위해서는 잘 알려진 검증 함수들을 활용하는데, 같은 함수에 대해 제안한 접근법을 적용한 경우와 적용하지 않은 경우의 결과를 비교한다. 제안한 접근법을 적용함으로써 기존보다 사용자의 선호도를 잘 반영하면서 동시에 우수하고 다양한 의사 선택이 가능하다.

In the transportation literature, many useful decision making models for ship routing and ship scheduling have been studied. But the majority of these studies are on industrial carriers, bulk carriers, or tankers. It is quite recent that a few optimization models have been developed for liner fleet routing and scheduling problems. However there have been few academic studies on decision making models for the routing or scheduling problems of passenger ships in spite of their economic importance in the entire shipping industry. The purpose of this study is to develop analytic decision making models for ship routing and scheduling for the passenger ship fleet. This study gives two optimization models, one is a linear programming model and the other a goal programming model. These two models are solved easy by commercial linear programming softwares and suggest optimal ship routing plans and many other useful implications for passenger ship fleet managers.

Decision making at the early stages of a construction project has a significant impact on the project, and various scenarios created based on the owner's requirements should be considered for the decision making. At the early stages of a construction project, the information regarding the project is usually limited and uncertain. As such, it is difficult to plan and manage the project (especially cost planning). Thus, in this study, a cost model that could be varied according to the owner's requirements was developed. The cost model that was developed in this study is based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology. The model suggests cost estimation with the most similar historical case as a basis for the estimation. In this study, the optimization process was also conducted, using genetic algorithms that reflect the changes in the number of project characteristics and in the database in the model according to the owner's decision making. Two optimization parameters were established: (1) the minimum criteria for scoring attribute similarity (MCAS); and (2) the range of attribute weights (RAW). The cost model proposed in this study can help building owners and managers estimate the project budget at the business planning stage.

방사선 방어의 최적화 수행에는 적용의 다양함 등을 고려할 때, 절차론이 반드시 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 발전소 설계 단계에서의 최적화 절차론을 제시하고, 이를 피폭 저감대안의 선정 문제에 적용하였다. 의사결정 보조기법으로는 다기준 기법을 사용하였으며, 그 결과 대안의 우선순위를 결정하고, 최적화의 결과를 실제 적용하는 문제를 분석하였다. 이러한 최적화 절차론은 발전소 이외에 방사성 폐기물 관리나 방사선의 의학적 이용 둥의 분야에도 적용될 수 있다.

Nowadays, using math logic in great civil projects is considered by the clients to achieve the goals of project including quality optimization, costs, avoiding individual, emotional and political decision making, long-term and short-term goals and they are the main requirements of each project and should be considered by the decision makers to avoid the illogical decision making applied on the majority of civil projects and this imposes great financial and spiritual costs on our country. The present study attempts to present one of the civil projects (Ghasre Shirin storage dam) whose client was not ministry of energy for the first time and the short-term and long-term goals of the private sector were applied based on the triangle of quality, cost and time. Also, the math logic and model (multi-criteria decision making method and decision making matrix) is used in one of the most important sections of project, sealing element, policies and new materials (Geosynthetics) are considered and this leads to suitable decision making in this regard. It is worth to mention that this method is used for other sections of a dam including body, water diversion system, diaphragm and other sectors or in other civil projects of building, road construction, etc.

In this paper, for the fuzzy constraints not only fuzziness of the constraints relation but also uncertainties of the response of the structures, allowable limits of the constraints and structural design variables, etc. are considered,. so that the fuzzy optimization of the structures can involve more wide scope of the problem and the fuzzy optimal problem is more generalized. In the decision making of the structural design scheme, every possible cases of the fuzzy variables, random variables and fuzzy-random variables, etc. for the uncertainties of the optimization problem are all considered, so the most general method of the decision making is presented. And a numerical example for the three bar truss is offered to demonstrate the reliability and execution possibility proposed method in this paper.

In order to improve the utilization of irrigation water resources of greenhouse tomatoes, a water-saving irrigation decision-making model based on genetic optimization T-S fuzzy neural network is proposed in this paper. The main work are as follows: Firstly, the traditional genetic algorithm is optimized by introducing the constraint operator and update operator of the Krill herd (KH) algorithm. Secondly, the weights and thresholds of T-S fuzzy neural network are optimized by using the improved genetic algorithm. Finally, on the basis of the real data set, the genetic optimization T-S fuzzy neural network is used to simulate and predict the irrigation volume for greenhouse tomatoes. The performance of the genetic algorithm improved T-S fuzzy neural network (GA-TSFNN), the traditional T-S fuzzy neural network algorithm (TSFNN), BP neural network algorithm(BPNN) and the genetic algorithm improved BP neural network algorithm (GA-BPNN) is compared by simulation. The simulation experiment results show that compared with the TSFNN, BPNN and the GA-BPNN, the error of the GA-TSFNN between the predicted value and the actual value of the irrigation volume is smaller, and the proposed method has a better prediction effect. This paper provides new ideas for the water-saving irrigation decision in greenhouse tomatoes.

In order to guide users to select the most optimal access network in heterogeneous wireless networks, a network selection algorithm is proposed which is designed based on multi-objective discrete particle swarm optimization (Multi-Objective Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization, MODPSO). The proposed algorithm keeps fast convergence speed and strong adaptability features of the particle swarm optimization. In addition, it updates an elite set to achieve multi-objective decision-making. Meanwhile, a mutation operator is adopted to make the algorithm converge to the global optimal. Simulation results show that compared to the single-objective algorithm, the proposed algorithm can obtain the optimal combination performance and take into account both the network state and the user preferences.

The Semantic Web technology, purporting to share, to reuse and to process by machines data stored in the Web environment, incessantly evolves to help human decision making; in particular, decision making based on data, or quantitative decision making. This trend drives researchers to fill the gap with strenuous efforts between the current state of the technology and the terminus of this evolution. The Semantic Web Constraint Language (SWCL) together with SWRL is one of these endeavors to achieve the goal. This paper focuses particularly on how to express the piecewise linear form in the context of SWCL. The importance of this ingredient can be fortified by the fact that any nonlinear expression can be approximated in the piecewise linear form. This paper will also provide the information of how it will work in the decision making process through an example of the Internet shopping mall problem.
