Aiming at the problem that time complexity of k-nearest neighbor (kNN) querying algorithms are proportionate to scale of training samples, an efficient query method for spatial database based on the Spark framework and the reversed k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) is proposed. Firstly, based on the Spark framework, a two-layer indexing structure based on grid and Voronoi diagram is constructed, and an efficient filtering and a refining processing algorithm are proposed. Secondly, the filtering step of proposed algorithm is used to obtain the candidates, and the refining step is used to remove the candidates. Finally, the candidate sets from different regions are merged to get the final result. Results of experiments on real-world datasets validate that the proposed method has better query performance and better stability and significantly improves the processing speed.","PeriodicalId":42414,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Decision Support System Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, robot selection can be regarded as a multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this article, a new hybrid MCDM model combining COPRAS and ARAS is developed to execute an industrial robot selection process based on three alternatives and five criteria. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is integrated to compute the parametric weights. It is discovered that Robot 3 and Robot 1 are coming out to be the best and worst alternative robots from this hybrid model. Finally, comparative analysis among eight other MCDM tools and sensitivity analysis are also performed to assess the stability and robustness of the developed hybrid model and other applied MCDM tools.","PeriodicalId":42414,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Decision Support System Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48152817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To carry out this study, an intrusion detection dataset from UNSW was downloaded and preprocessed before being used. Given the number of features at hand and the large size of the dataset, performance was poor while accuracy was low. This low prediction accuracy led to the generation of false alerts, consequently, legitimate alerts used to pass without an action assuming them as false. To deal with large size and false alarms, the proposed voting-based feature reduction approach proved to be highly beneficial in reducing the dataset size by selecting only the features secured majority votes. Outcome collected prior to and following the application of the proposed model were compared. The findings reveal that the proposed approach required less time to predict, at the same time predicted accuracy was higher. The proposed approach will be extremely effective at detecting intrusions in real-time environments and mitigating the cyber-attacks.","PeriodicalId":42414,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Decision Support System Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42380252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, infiltrating into the existing automobile market requires huge investment in charging facilities and intricate planning to make it more approachable to the consumers. Identifying the crucial challenges and finding a solution has been a major hurdle to the manufacturers. While various non-government agencies and government policies are urging both consumers and manufacturers to adopt electric mobility, many industries remain unguided. The paper aims to identify, study, and rank 12 of these influential challenges faced by the manufacturers based on their impact on enhancing the manufacturing and sales of electric vehicles in India using the triangular fuzzy number (TFN) method.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of CVDs. Abundant research works propose decision support systems for CAD early detection. Most of proposed solutions have their origins in the realm of machine learning and datamining. This paper presents two solutions for CAD prediction. The first solution optimizes a random forest model (RFM) through hyperparameters tuning. The second solution uses a case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology. The CBR solution takes advantage of feature importance to improve the execution time of the retrieve step in the CBR cycle. The experimentations show that the RFM outperformed most recent published models for CAD diagnosis. By reducing the number of attributes, the CBR solution improves the execution time and also performs very well in terms of diagnosis accuracy. The performance of the CBR solution is intended to be enhanced because CBR is a learning methodology.","PeriodicalId":42414,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Decision Support System Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74088835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine the quantitative characteristics of risk levels, models for collaborative decision making (CDM) under uncertainty by the operators (pilots, air traffic controllers, flight/dispatch), and other invited specialists, have been developed. The decision-making modeling of a group of operators in case of an emergency situation such as “pilot incapacitation” was presented.

The research findings allowed the identification of three mechanisms that facilitate and make future decisions faster and more appropriate based on past experiences: (1) memory, (2) reflection, and (3) tools and analytical approach. The research contributes by showing evidence that, when supported by analytical tools, decision-makers can improve the quality and speed of the decision-making process.
