The problem of selection and the best option are the main subject of operation research science in decision-making theory. Selection is a process that scrutinizes and investigates several quantitative and qualitative, and most often incompatible, factors. One of the most fundamental management issues in multicriteria selection literature is the multicriteria adoption of the projects portfolio. In such decision-making condition, manager is seeking for the best combination to build up a portfolio among the existing projects. In the present paper, KOHONEN algorithm was first employed to build up a portfolio of the projects. Next, each portfolio was evaluated using grey relational analysis (GRA) and then scheduled risk of the project was predicted using Mamdani fuzzy inference method. Finally, the multiobjective biogeography-based optimization algorithm was utilized for drawing risk and rank Pareto analysis. A case study is used concurrently to show the efficiency of the proposed model.
Undoubtedly, in today's new business information has donated the most competitive advantage for the organizations. Although just collecting, processing and retrieving of data were significant in the past, the subject of information security is turned into a serious challenge in micro and macro levels of organizational management. Indeed, observance of the information security principals is counted as a critical infrastructure in today's knowledge based organizations. In order to realize this purpose, we need to make a strategic plan for IT security. However, we cannot expect to design a comprehensive plan, if we don't have accurate statistics about the level of the information security maturity in current organizations.The goal of this paper is ranking organizations about the level of the information security maturity by presenting a model based on the knowledge of multi criteria decision making. So, first of all, in the literature review, the models and different standards presented in the information security maturity were studied. After determining information security criteria in technical and managerial forms, considering the triple criteria of security, safety and stability, weight devoting was performed by using the expert's views in the IT departments of three chosen organizations A, B and C. Ultimately, ranking of these organizations based on the level of information security maturity was done by applying the algorithm of PROMETHEE II. In the final step there was a comparison between the result of this model and two other security maturity models. The same results show reliability and validity of proposed ranking model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
