Integrating multicriteria analysis and geographic information systems: the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) approach

International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management, 2006
The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) is a family of multicriteria combination (aggregation) procedures. The generality of OWA is related to its capability to implement different combination operators by selecting appropriate order weights. By specifying suitable order weights it is possible to change the form of aggregation from the minimum-type ...

Application of the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) method to the Caspian Sea conflict

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2014
This study proposes a promising allocation mechanism of the Caspian Sea natural resources, which are presently shared among five countries. To date, these nations have been unable to reach an allocation agreement. We apply a methodology to propose the most appropriate solution under different risk attitudes of the states.

Metal-oxide-semiconductor Sensors Modeling Using Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) Operators in Electronic Nose

Measurement: Journal of the International Measurement Confederation, 2021
Abstract This paper proposes a minimum parameter system (MPS) model based on a particular data fusion method capable of reducing the uncertainties and providing more accurate results. We have applied the model to the data taken from an electronic nose.

Integrating indicators for performance assessment of small water utilities using ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators

Expert Systems With Applications, 2010
The main objective of this study is to develop a methodology that integrates indicators for performance assessment of small drinking water utilities. The investigation entails 10 water utilities in the Province of Quebec (Canada) that use surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of runoff, and apply chlorination as the only treatment ...

Using ordered weight averaging (OWA) aggregation for multi-criteria soil fertility evaluation by GIS (case study: southeast Iran)

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2017
Abstract The Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to provide more accurate decisions for decision makers in order to evaluate the effective factors of the natural science. One of the popular algorithms of the multi-criteria analysis is the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA).

The Selection of a Children's Librarian: OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) as a New Model

open access: yesJournal of Library Administration, 2014
ABSTRACTThis article aims to demonstrate how to objectively select the best children's librarian from all children's librarian candidates by using OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) technique as a new model. Firstly, we described 14 professional criteria that must be met by 4 different candidates (c1, c2, c3, and c4).

Weighted OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging Operator) Preference Aggregation for Group Multicriteria Decisions

International Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, 2023
Group decision making is an integral part of operations and management functions in almost every business domain with substantial applications in finance and economics. In parallel to human decision makers, software agents operate in business systems and environments, collaborate, compete and perform algorithmic decision-making tasks as well.
