“…Finally, even after the evolution of many new multi-criteria models, AHP remains a popular methodology in modeling MCDM problems in many latest research setting (e.g. Wei et al , 2020; Higgins and Benaroya, 2020; Zhou and Yang, 2020; Omar et al , 2019).…”

PurposeTypically, adoption of sustainability in organizations are often done in an unstructured way without the consideration of other partners in the supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a coherent plan to improve sustainability in the supply chains utilizing ISO standards for environment and social responsibility.Design/methodology/approachThis paper draws on literature on ISO14000 and ISO26000 to derive a set of variables applicable to supply chains, which are then prioritized for real organizations utilizing analytic hierarchy process.FindingsThe findings highlight that not all the variables of environmental, social and economic responsibility are equally important. Besides, the work reported in this paper justifies the application of multi-criteria decision-making (AHP) to prioritize elements of sustainability in context supply chains. The suggested method is illustrated using inputs from large manufacturing companies in Qatar.Practical implicationsISO14000 and ISO26000 are well known standards; however, there was no effort to integrate these standards to improve sustainability in supply chains. The suggested methodology provides invaluable help to the managers to implement sustainability in a coherent manner across the supply chain.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the extant literature by proposing a new methodology based on the integration of three-approaches: Analytic Hierarchy Process, ISO14000 and ISO26000 systems.

In the last years space technologies have made giant leaps, increasing the feasibility of human exploration and colonization of other celestial bodies. The Moon and Mars have become appealing in these terms, but autonomy, adaptability and high reliability are inevitably needed in long-term missions. Furthermore, new generation spacecraft will have to face challenges related to the degradation of materials and the continuous exposure to the threats of space environment. Novel materials and technologies must hence be developed to satisfy future missions requirements. This paper aims at giving a clear and organic overview of the describes the most significant innovations in the field of materials for space applications, along with the related advantages and challenges. After introducing the main environmental factors in space and their possible risks and effects on materials, the authors proceed with the description of novel materials for space applications, subdivided into polymers, metals, semiconductors, composites, and mixtures. Innovations in manufacturing techniques and in-situ resource utilization are also briefly presented before moving to final considerations on the limitations and future challenges for these innovative materials.

“…The AHP is usually used in situations where a decision must be made using a small amount of quantitative data, using a deep analysis performed by several decision-making parties, by applying a pair-to-pair comparison of possible solutions. The AHP may be adapted to be used by machinebased decision making in the scenarios where complex multiple criteria problems are evaluated [42][43][44]. The choice of the AHP instead of other more formal multi-criteria decision-making algorithms is based on the following reasons [40].…”

Fog computing is meant to deal with the problems which cloud computing cannot solve alone. As the fog is closer to a user, it can improve some very important QoS characteristics, such as a latency and availability. One of the challenges in the fog architecture is heterogeneous constrained devices and the dynamic nature of the end devices, which requires a dynamic service orchestration to provide an efficient service placement inside the fog nodes. An optimization method is needed to ensure the required level of QoS while requiring minimal resources from fog and end devices, thus ensuring the longest lifecycle of the whole IoT system. A two-stage multi-objective optimization method to find the best placement of services among available fog nodes is presented in this paper. A Pareto set of non-dominated possible service distributions is found using the integer multi-objective particle swarm optimization method. Then, the analytical hierarchy process is used to choose the best service distribution according to the application-specific judgment matrix. An illustrative scenario with experimental results is presented to demonstrate characteristics of the proposed method.
