Synopsis

This book highlights the enduring synergy between information technology and decision-making tools, showcasing how advancements in one field drive progress in the other. Featuring the discoveries of esteemed researchers from the International Journal of Information Technology and Decision Making, it provides an insightful exploration of foundational concepts and cutting-edge techniques.

This review volume opens with a broad overview of fundamental concepts like the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Threat-Oriented Person Screening Integrated System, (TOPSIS) across the past decades. Subsequent chapters explore how theoretical advances find practical application in diverse fields.

In this book, techniques from fuzzy logic find usage in uncertainty modelling, followed by the use of feature selection and recommendation in machine learning. The use of advanced optimization techniques for applications in price forecasting and the Internet of Things (IoT) are also covered. Additionally, the work presents novel methods under a neutrosophic environment as well as global and local importance used for multi-criteria decision-making. The prolific research presented helps to expand the repertoire of approaches to tackle problems in business strategy, healthcare and public policy.

This comprehensive resource is an essential reference for practitioners and researchers seeking to expand their expertise in decision-making and technology-driven solutions.
