A modified fuzzy approach to prioritize project activities

Abstract

Project management is an important task in business although project is not just confined to business. Due to the uncertainty of the various variables involved in a project, over several past decades research is going on in the search for an efficient project management model. Although numerous crisp models are easily implementable, the potential of fuzzy models are huge. In the case of software development, the variables involved are highly dynamic. In this paper, we propose a ranking based fuzzy model that can prioritize various activities. We use a popular crisp model to test the effectiveness of the fuzzy model proposed. Simulation is done through Java Server Pages (JSP). There is considerable computational and managerial advantage in implementing the fuzzy model.

An Image Sharing Technique Using QR Code Through Cloud for Mobile Devices

“…Testing performed thus ensures the overall quality of both the applications. The testing of the model can by done using an ordered ideal intuitionistic fuzzy software quality model proposed by Kalyathankal et al [4] For each operation in between the client and server, a connection needs to be established successfully followed by instruction and termination of connection. The server needs to constantly send the instruction value to the specified mobile device with the help of database.…”

A Combinatorial Optimization Solution for Activity Prioritizing Problem

“…Hadad [20] proposed a technique to prioritize project activities using AHP and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as the research tools to select the proper influencing factors. Kalayathankal et al [21] applied a fuzzy technique to prioritize activities in a software development project with the analogous activities in the electrical substation construction studied by Mota et al [15]. They claimed brought out better project output in terms of finance, personnel, equipment, space, time etc.…”
