This research presents a decision framework for CV selection in the healthcare industry, addressing the challenges of uncertainty, expert hesitation, and conflicting criteria. The proposed framework incorporates FFS (“Fermatean fuzzy set”) to handle uncertainty and data representation effectively. The importance of experts is attained via the variance approach, which considers hesitation and variability. Furthermore, the framework addresses the issue of extreme value hesitancy in criteria through the LOPCOW (“logarithmic percentage change-driven objective weighting”) method, which ensures a balanced and accurate assessment of criterion importance. Personalized grading of CVs is done via the ranking algorithm that considers the formulation of CoCoSo (“combined compromise solution”) with rank fusion, providing a compromise solution that balances conflicting criteria. By integrating these techniques, the proposed framework aims to enhance the rationale and reduce human intervention in CV selection for the healthcare industry. Also, valuable insights are gained from the framework for making informed decisions when selecting CVs for efficient data management and process implementation. A case example from Tamil Nadu is presented to testify to the applicability, while sensitivity and comparison analyses reveal the pros and cons of the framework.\u0000PDF XML","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138530665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the vital importance of the concept of CSFSs which is gaining massive attention in the research area of two-dimensional uncertain information, we aim to establish a novel methodology for multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM). This methodology allows us to calculate both the weights of the decision-makers (DMs) and the weights of the criteria objectively. For this goal, we first introduce a new entropy measure function that measures the fuzziness degree associated with a CSFS to compute the unknown criteria weights in this methodology. Then, we present an innovative Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) method based on the proposed entropy measure in the complex spherical fuzzy environment. Besides, we solve a strategic supplier selection problem which is very important to maximize the efficiency of the trading companies. Finally, we present some comparative analyses with some existing methods in different set theories, including the entropy measures, to show the feasibility and usefulness of the proposed method in the decision-making process.\u0000PDF XML","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138530666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been extensively studied across various scientific fields. Due to the complexity of decision-making under uncertainty, some higher-order fuzzy sets have been proposed to effectively model this issue. Circular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (CIFS) is one such set recently introduced to handle uncertain IF values. In CIFS, each element of the set is characterized by a circular area with a radius, <i>r</i> and membership/non-membership degrees as the centre. This paper introduces CIF-ELECTRE III, an extension of ELECTRE III within the CIFS framework, for group decision analysis. To achieve this, we define extensions for the group decision matrix and group weighting vector based on CIFS conditions, particularly focusing on optimistic and pessimistic attitudes. These attitudinal characters of the group of actors are constructed using conditional rules to ensure that each element of the set falls within the circular area. Parameterized by <span><span>$alpha in [0,1]$</span></span> for the net score degree, we conduct an extensive analysis of group decision-making between optimistic and pessimistic attitudes. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed model, we provide a numerical example of the stock-picking process. Additionally, we conduct a comparative analysis with existing sets and perform sensitivity analyses to validate the results of the proposed model.\u0000PDF XML","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"246 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138543107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this situation, the data privacy and especially of the service providers can be breached when their critical data can be seen by another party. Therefore, keeping the data privacy during the composition process is crucial by every work in the context of the service composition. Recent approaches rely on a central mediator that can be trusted or not to ensuring the privacy of the service providers during the query execution. The most recent approaches found problems in case of untrusted mediator where they enforce restrictions like k-protection that can affect the efficiency of their works. Therefore, we propose PrSChain which preserves the privacy of all service providers during service composition and execution using BlockChain technology. We used a permissioned BlockChain that acts as trusted mediator where it enables users to access to the BC if a valid certificate is given. We use Hyperledger Fabric to implement our solution where it stores sensitive data about the composition plan. In addition, the intermediate query results are saved in IPFS that acts as offchain storage. As a proof of concept, we have tested PrSChain on a real-world medical dataset to show its feasibility and efficiency for maintaining privacy in a secure and trusted manner.","PeriodicalId":56292,"journal":{"name":"Informatica","volume":"28 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134993150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That means it is important to make a medical examination periodically to investigate the presence of any cancerous lumps in breast tissue or underarm which can be an indicator for the existence of the tumour. Mammogram rays are an X-RAY applied on the breast which can used to find any problems in the breast like tumor blocks in breast, pain, secretions from nipples. Mammogram rays can detect breast cancer early and decrease the death cases. mammogram imaging starts in 40 age and must done every 3 years to assure the not infection of it. In cases of Genetic disease history, it is important to take the mammogram imaging before 40 age in the state of early tumor detection so it increases the recovery in early stages.
