“…It has been employed in various economic fields, for instance in banking-sector evaluation in Turkey (Seçme, Bayrakdaroglu, & Kahraman, 2009), in the supply chain for products (Wang, Huang and Dismukes, 2004), in business-source allocation (Saaty et al 2003, Kearns, 2004 and in industry strategies for international markets (Chen and Wang, 2010). It has also been used in many cases concerning investment location, regional competitiveness and the renewable energy sector.…”

This paper examines the effects of regional factors related to macroeconomic, environmental and energy data in relation to regional investment attractiveness to the Greek solar energy sector. Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process method, the paper explores the significance of some criteria with reference to the regional investment attractiveness of solar energy enterprises. The AHP method is applied to approach investments in the solar energy sector, by incorporating regional factors in decision-making. Investment scenarios are created for the first time with the usage of multi-criteria methodology, and their scores are calculated based on regional factors Indeed, the results reveal that regions vary in terms of their investment attractiveness in the solar energy sector; hence, decision-makers and business managers should take regional factors into account. This study aims to contribute to the renewable energy expansion, as it is key to a sustainable economy and global challenges. As the last COP21 in Paris will lead to an overwhelming expansion of renewable energy, decision-makers should take into account not only national but also regional parameters.

“…As it was proved in [23], matrix (1) has a maximal eigenvalue λ max = m + ∆λ (where ∆λ is small) and a corresponding eigenvector c with positive coordinates c i > 0, i = 1, ..., m corresponding to the λ max . In the AHP method, the priorities of the criteria are the coordinates of the normalized eigenvectorc:c…”

Abstract. In this paper we consider combining ontologically represented information with Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP ) to facilitate decision support for Grid users. The context for the proposal is provided by the Agents in Grid project (AiG), which aims at development of an agent-based infrastructure for efficient resource management in the Grid. In the AiG project, agents form teams, managers of which negotiate with clients and workers terms of potential collaboration. Here, we focus on the scenario, in which the user is searching for resources to execute a task, while the resources and the expert domain knowledge are organized in an ontology. Taking into account the complex nature of resource description and domain knowledge, multicriterial assessment of how accurate is the user description of her needs, and how it can be extended/refined, plays a crucial role. For instance, it should help the user to choose optimal algorithm and/or resource to solve her problem. Furthermore, ontologically described contract proposals, that are the results of autonomous negotiations, require multicriterial assessment. The AHP method is based on pairwise comparisons of criteria, and relies on the judgment of a panel of experts. In the context of the AiG project, we show on the example of the AHP method, how multicriteria group decision making can be used to support user in resource selection and assessment of contract proposals.

“…However, Choquet integral plays an important role in capturing the interaction aspect among criteria during aggregation process [7]. Besides that, Choquet integral has the merit in producing unique solution in comparison to the other aggregation techniques [8]. Choquet Integral is a non-additive aggregation method which has the ability to model issues of dependencies between criteria.…”

Abstract. Many average methods are available to aggregate a set of numbers to become single number. However these methods do not consider the interdependencies between the criteria of the related numbers. This paper is highlighting the Choquet Integral method as an alternative aggregation method where the interdependency estimates between the criteria are comprised in the aggregation process. The interdependency values can be estimated by using lambda fuzzy measure method. By considering the interdependencies or interaction between the criteria, the resulted aggregated values are more meaningful as compared to the ones obtained by normal average methods. The application of the Choquet Integral is illustrated in a case study of finding the overall academic achievement of year six pupils in a selected primary school in a northern state of Malaysia.
