This paper presents a methodology on the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) to calculate unified power quality index which provide an overall assessment of the distribution system performance. To obtain the unified power quality index. we propose the use of the AHP model and consider contingency using Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed method is especially useful and effective for planning. We have applied the proposed method to an actual relatively large system.

The purpose of this study is propose an alternative for flight attendants to acquire equipment that could enhance the ability to adapt in flying conditions. Introducing and acquiring weapon system, such equipments should be deeply considered in multilateral aspects; reinforcements in the overall strategic status in the army, the ramifications that can contribute to military resources, and economic situations in the country. To do this, we first induced several criteria that can be used for evaluating alternatives. After that, we applied the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) approach to putting all factors into considerations in decision making for equipment acquirement. The results of this study are expected to have usefulness in formulating strategies and policies in selecting equipment acquisition alternatives for flight attendants.

The read performance of hybrid hard disk is better than the legacy hard disk and power consumption is also considerably low. As blocks with enough localities may be located in the non-volatile cache whose size is generally limited, an effective block replacement scheme is required. As this replacement is inevitably affected by various parameters, we define this issue as a kind of multiple criteria decision model. To solve this problem, this paper suggests a new block replacement algorithm based on the analytic hierarchy process. Through simulation for our model, we confirmed that the proposed model could be used as a replacement algorithm of the hybrid hard disk as it may improve boot time as well as response time of general applications.

Container terminals compete with other ones because of the continuous increase of container flows and the appearance of large-sized vessels. Major port equipment manufacturers are interested in the development of new conceptual equipment ot greatly increase the productivity. In this study, a two-phase procedure is suggested for selecting the optimal development alternatives, when there are various development alternatives for container cranes, typical equipment in ports. The first phase removes the alternatives that violate essential requirements and the second phase selects find alternatives by using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). Finally and example applying the procedure is provided.

Climate change has often resulted in severe droughts in a rice-farming season (i.e., April to June), and the large amount of water resources were needed to cope with droughts during the season. Therefore, the subsurface dam, which is able to store groundwater resources in the alluvium aquifer, has been considered to be an alternative for securing more groundwater resources. In this study, suitable sites assessment criteria for agricultural subsurface dam using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were established for adequate drought management. Moreover, the criteria were applied to the existing five agricultural subsurface dams to verify their applicability of groundwater supply for each subsurface dam. The assessment criteria were divided into three major categories (geology, hydrology and business condition) and classified to 12 individual sub-categories with weighting. From the assessment, Ian subsurface dam and Wooil subsurface dam were identified as the best and the worst suitable site, respectively, and this result was in accordance with the average amount of annual groundwater supply by each subsurface dam during the period of 2011-2017.

지속가능한 수자원 개발 및 관리를 위해서는 유역 내에서 진행되고 있는 수자원에 관련된 활동들이 지속가능한 개발의 개념에 부합하는지 여부를 판단해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 국가, 유역, 지자체 등의 수문, 수질, 사회, 경제, 환경적인 요인들을 고려한 다변수 평가 지수가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유역의 수자원을 평가할 수 있는 지표들을 선정하고 이들 간의 중요도는 계층적 분석기법(Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP)을 사용하여 산정하였으며 이들을 종합한 수자원 지속가능성 지수(WRSI, Water Resources Sustainability Index)를 개발하였다. WRSI는 경제적 효율성 세부지수, 사회적 공평성 세부지수, 환경 보전성 세부지수, 유지관리능력 세부지수로 구성하였다. 지표들과 세부지수들 간의 중요도는 전문가들에 대한 설문조사를 통하여 산정하였다. 개발된 WRSI 구성지표들의 표준화는 이들의 적정 확률분포를 선정한 후 누가확률을 사용하여 산정하는 방법을 개발하여 사용하였다.

It is one of the most important decision making problems to select the adequate foundation practice for the downtown construction project. However the foundation practice has not been selected systematically yet by considering various construction field conditions in many projects. The foundation practice is often informally selected on the basis of only past experiences and skilled engineer's opinion. For making the selection process systematically, in this study, we propose a decision support system (DSS) for selecting foundation practices based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Preference Function (PF). In the proposed DSS, the AHP is used for making the selection process more reasonable and the PF is used for considering the decision maker's preference. To validate the proposed DSS, we apply the proposed DSS to the pre-performed construction projects. The application results show that the proposed DSS gives the same foundation practices with the implemented foundation practices that the skilled foundation engineers select after carefully analyzing construction field conditions. The proposed DSS can be used as a useful tool for making decisions to select the foundation practice in the construction fields.

The purpose of this study is to propose a decision-making technique for selecting waterproofing methods using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. In this study, a questionnaire survey was given to a group of specialists, which included design specialists, construction specialists, and maintenance specialists, regarding their experience with roof waterproofing methods. The 1st level hierarchy of the questionnaire survey addressed the function, economics, and maintenance of each of the roof waterproofing methods. The rank of 13 items of questionnaire, which is the 2nd level hierarchy of the questionnaire survey, is calculated using Expert Choice Solution. The analysis of questionnaire survey shows that each specialist selects different roof waterproofing methods, and all specialists make much of waterproof performance.

A virtual shopping mall is like a real-world mall, supports electronic shopping by selling products or services through Interne. Although increasing numbers of products are being marketed on the Web, little efforts has been spent on evaluating what mall is more suitable for marketing electronically and for protecting consumers. Evaluation of virtual shopping malls is regarded as a major task in business-to-consumer electronic commerce. This paper considers the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method in the evaluation of virtual shopping malls and provides its applications. The AHP is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem, hierarchically. A series of pairwise comparison judgments is performed to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy. The AHP model hierarchy consists of the four following levels: decision maker, main criteria, sub-criteria, and virtual shopping malls. the main criteria include the state of physical firms, representation of information on the virtual shopping malls, product or service, convenience for shopping, consumer protection, and consumer service. The total number of sub-criteria in the third level is twenty-nine. All decision makers selected belong to virtual shopping mall enterprises, or universities. As a case study, we show the synthesized priority of the five virtual shopping malls that have acquired an E-Trust mark. Finally a sensitivity analysis shows how well each virtual shopping mall performs on each criterion by increasing or decreasing the importance of the main criteria.
