Dissertation Title: DYNAMIC MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION-MAKING IN COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTS
Dissertation Chairperson: Dr. Robert J. Hammell II, rhammell@towson.edu
Abstract: Decision-making is an aspect of everyday life, and in complex and dynamic environments such as emergencies, disasters, or battlefield operations, decision-making becomes critical. Making informed, timely decisions when presented with often conflicting criteria amongst numerous alternatives is a challenge itself. Intelligent agents that can assist with that challenge would be ideal. The research in this dissertation studies how different variations of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods can be used as a decision aid to help in complex decision-making. The goal with this research was aimed at developing a taxonomy for selecting MCDM methodology in dynamic and complex environments, and augmenting hybrid MCDM with dynamic calculations and Fuzzy Logic. The results provide an effective selection taxonomy and demonstrate that hybrid MCDM augmented with dynamic calculations and Fuzzy Logic does provide superior performance and robustness when evaluated using Kendall Tau distance and sensitivity analysis.
