In practice it is quite customary that an alternative is evaluated by means of n ≥ 2 grades x1, ..., xn, each of which taking an integer value from 1 («bad») to m ≥ 3 («perfect»). Thus, a problem arises to rank the set X of all n-dimensional vectors x with integer components from 1 to m....

The information and communication technology (ICT) industry is one of the most capital intensive among the high-technology industries. ICT business analysis, especially after the industry deregulation, has become a difficult task. Traditional quantitative cost-benefit analysis concerning...

The inadequacy of traditional quantitative cost-benefit analysis for evaluating Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) infrastructure investments have led researchers to suggest real options (ROs) analysis for valuating ICT projects. However, ROs models are strictly quantitative and...

Probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy set (PDHFS), as a decision information preference combining membership degree (MD) and non-membership degree (NMD) and probability, is an important tool to express uncertain information powerfully. It is well known that distance measures are very useful tools in...
