This study presents a comprehensive study on the potential and efficacy of decomposition-based multi-objective symbiotic organism search (MOSOS/D) algorithm for truss structure optimization. The investigation is carried out on five benchmark truss structures, e.g., 37-bar, 60-bar, 72-bar,...

The fog computing paradigm is promising for deploying various delay-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The resource-constrained fog devices restrict the number of application deployments due to a lack of efficient resource estimation and discovery mechanisms for various emergent...

This paper focuses on a comparative analysis between two multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, called the Simple Ranking Process (SRP) and Faire Un Choix Adéquat (FUCA). Two examples are used to reveal the similarities and differences between these two methods. The findings established...

The approach of evaluating the fnal scores of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods according to the strength of association with real-life rankings is interesting for comparing MCDM methods. This approach has recently been applied mostly to fnancial data. In these studies, where it is...

The knowledge measure of fuzzy sets (FSs) has drawn greater attention and is still unresolved since it is the complementary idea to fuzzy entropy. The amount of knowledge is important in evaluating fuzzy information. This study proposes an exponential entropy-based knowledge measure for fuzzy...

It is imperative for residents to have access to safe facilities after an earthquake. This ensures the safety and well-being of individuals while minimizing the risks posed by aftershocks. This research has used multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and network-based analysis to select and...
