This special issue of Business Systems Research (SI of the BSR) is being co-published by the Slovenian Society INFORMATIKA - Section for Operational Research (SSI -SOR). It focuses on recent advances in Operations Research and Management Science (OR / MS), with a particular emphasis on linking...

Background When pairwise comparisons are used to express preferences for alternatives or judgments on criteria's importance, several methods can be used to derive priorities in multi-criteria decision-making. In the case of inconsistency, different methods give different results. Objectives The...

Evaluating and selecting players to suit football clubs and decision-makers (coaches, managers, technical, and medical staff) is a difficult process from a managerial-financial and sporting perspective. Football is a highly competitive sport where sponsors and fans are attracted by success. The...

This study presents a novel approach to arithmetic operations and ranking of Generalized Fuzzy Numbers (GFNs) for decision-making under uncertainty. Traditional methods often yield irrational outputs when dealing with GFNs, especially in complex situations where precision and clarity are...

This study presents a hybrid fuzzy Multi-Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) model with application to commercial insurance selection. The proposed hybrid model uses Spherical Fuzzy (SF) sets using Yager t-norm and t-conorm operations. The Logarithmic Decomposition of Criteria Importance...

Selecting the requirements for an information system based on their ranking values is one of the critical steps in software development. Various methods for computing the ranking order of the requirements have been developed using multi-criteria decision-making methods. This study shows...

African swine fever (ASF) is a disease outbreak that has substantially impacted agriculture, public health, and food security. This study tackles the lack of knowledge regarding the interactions between multiple factors causing the spread of ASF. We also present a potential for...

Developing advanced engineering materials with enhanced mechanical and metallurgical properties has caused non-traditional machining (NTM) processes to emerge as cost-effective and energy-efficient options. Improper settings of the input parameters of those processes may often lead to inferior...
