The unique natural terrain and cultural customs in rural areas have promoted the continuous development of local ecotourism industry, which has had a positive impact on the economic development of rural areas and not only solved the employment problem of the majority of the population in rural areas. It can also bring a continuous stream of economic benefits and continuously improve the living standards of local residents. Rural ecotourism refers to a rural tourism activity that takes place in rural areas, supported by the agricultural industry, and attracted by the rural environment and typical rural ecotourism resources, with the concept of ecotourism. Rural ecotourism mainly takes the form of rural scenery, agricultural participation, and folk experience, integrating sightseeing experience, cognition, and tourism activities. The main principles of rural tourism development are agricultural support, people-oriented, ecological protection, community participation, income feedback, and ecological home construction. The sustainable development evaluation of rural ecotourism is a classical multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In such paper, the generalized weighted Bonferroni mean (GWBM) operator and power average (PA) is constructed for MADM with single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs). Then, the single-valued neutrosophic number power generalized BM (SVNNPGBM) operator is built and then the MADM decision methods are proposed based on the SVNNPGBM operator. Finally, an example for sustainable development evaluation of rural ecotourism and some comparative analysis were given to demonstrate the SVNNPGBM method.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74604477","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}

Enterprises using cloud computing can reduce the cost of building infrastructure and reap huge benefits. Due to the convenience of cloud computing, more and more enterprises are inclined to use cloud services to build their business systems. However, there are many different cloud service providers in the market, and enterprises need scientific decision-making tools to determine which cloud service provider to choose.

However, with the growth of the national economy and the increasing purchasing power of the people, consumers not only have higher requirements for the functionality of products, but also have higher requirements for the visual effect of product packaging. Based on the potential consumption trend of “looking for things”, enterprises need to further strengthen the artistic design effect when using paper packaging, promoting the unity of practicality and aesthetics of paper packaging. Pattern design art, as a component of graphic design art, is mainly based on pattern modeling to convey artistic concepts and aesthetic temperament. Integrating pattern design art into the process of paper packaging design can effectively enhance the artistic value of paper packaging, thereby adding color to products. The pattern design quality evaluation is a classical multi-attribute decision making (MADM). In this paper, the MADM methodology is investigated based on cross-entropy (CE) method under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) for pattern design quality evaluation. First of all, this paper extends the CE method under the IVIFSs to propose the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number cross-entropy (IVIFN-CE) method, it enlarges the application range of the CE method. Secondly, a new MADM model for pattern design quality evaluation based on IVIFN-CE algorithm is proposed. In this algorithm, attribute weight is calculated by CRITIC method which is a well-known objective method. At the end of this study, we noticed to a comparison between the proposed IVIFN-CE approach with other existing methods to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75921545","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}

Decision makers have different preferences in the face of different risks and benefits. In this paper, it proposed that the extended single-valued neutrosophic TOPSIS method based on the prospect theory (SVN-PT-TOPSIS) can be widely applied to MAGDM. It provides decision-makers with more rigorous decision-making methods. The purpose is to make the results more objective and fair and to reduce subjective errors. This paper is applied in a single-value neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) environment, which contains membership value, uncertainty value and non-membership value, and can effectively reflect the fuzzy decision state of decision makers. It also combines the CRITIC method to determine the weights and considers the psychological state of decision makers according to the prospect theory, which can effectively reduce the influence of subjective preferences on decision making. The innovations of this paper are mainly as follows. Firstly, after the score function determines the positive and negative ideal values, using the distance formula reflects the distance between each single-value neutrosophic number (SVNN) and the positive and negative ideal values. We will feel the overall quality of each scheme more directly. Secondly determine the weights using the CRITIC method based on the distance matrix of each SVNN from the negative ideal. This is not a subjective decision weight, so the influence of personal preferences on the decision can be avoided. Thirdly, the composite profit value and the composite loss value are confirmed based on the prospect theory (PT), taking into account the decision maker’s risk preferences. Finally, use the relative profit loss ratio to rank the programs. After case analysis, other classical decisionmaking methods are selected for comparative analysis of the extended TOPSIS It is confirmed that the SVN-PT-TOPSIS method is reasonable and effective, which is suitable for MAGDM problems.","PeriodicalId":44076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75219683","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}
