Material selection problem is important for the product design, and contains many influence factors. Thus it is actually a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. The aim of this paper is to propose a new decision method based on the projection method for the material selection problem, in which attribute values expressed with interval numbers. An objective determining weights method is proposed according to coefficient of variation method. A practical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.

In the multi-attribute decision making (MADM) process, the attribute values are sometimes provided by experts or the public in the form of words. To model the linguistic evaluation more accurately, this paper proposes the q-rung orthopair shadowed set (q-ROSS) to represent attribute values and extends the VIKOR (VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje) method to solve MADM problems in the q-ROSS context. First, we propose the q-ROSS to express evaluation information. Some basic operation rules and distance measures are investigated accordingly. When the amount of data is large, the left and right endpoints of the collected interval numbers will obey symmetric normal distribution. Secondly, based on the normal distribution assumption, the collected data intervals are mapped to shadowed sets through a data processing approach. Furthermore, we extend the VIKOR model to tackle the MADM problem where the evaluation values are expressed by q-rung orthopair shadowed numbers. A location selection problem verifies the practicability of our method, and the effectiveness and superiority of the presented approach are reflected through comparative analysis.

In this paper, an in-depth research has been done on the physical meaning and value features of the QoS attribute values under the definition of the functional attributes and non-functional attributes of Web services, giving the computation formulae and matching method expressing QoS composition as interval numbers, providing a more comprehensive and objective information matrix for fuzzy multi-attribute decision making. For multi-attributes fuzzy decision-making matrix with weight information known and the preference information of composition solution given in the form of interval numbers, calculating the overall attribute values, and sorting solutions by using the formula of probability degree, a QoS-driven multi-level composition Web Service selection algorithm is proposed, and simulation runs indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm.

In view of the multi-attribute decision making problems which the attribute values are in the forms of interval numbers, the paper presents an entropy method to obtain the attribute weights using the relative superiority concept. Firstly, the concept of this kind of problem is explained; Then in the light of the basic principle of the traditional entropy value method and train of thought, it given the calculation steps of weights using the relative superiority about the attribute value is interval number multiple attribute decision making problems. Its core is that relative superiority judgment matrix is obtained by comparing with two sets of interval numbers under the same indicator, which the group of interval numbers is equivalently mapped to the exact value form with the merits of relationship, then the weights of each indicator are calculated. Finally, the method is illustrated by giving an example.

For multi-attribute decision making problems whose attribute values are ternary interval numbers and their weights and attribute values are not fully, this paper proposes a decision-making method based on the similarity degree of ternary interval numbers. Firstly, utilizing the closeness theory of fuzzy sets, we give the corresponding axiomatic definition of ternary interval numbers and obtain the corresponding calculation formula of similarity degree. Then, according to the basic idea of traditional TOPSIS method, we establish the multi-attribute decision making and give the general steps of solving multi-attribute decision making problems. Finally, the paper demonstrates the effectiveness and practicality of the method by the example analysis.
