Abstract:As an efficient way to deal with the global climate change and energy shortage problems, a strong, self-healing, compatible, economic and integrative smart gird is under construction in China, which is supported by large amounts of investments and advanced technologies. To promote the construction, operation and sustainable development of Strong Smart Grid (SSG), a novel hybrid framework for evaluating the performance of SSG is proposed from the perspective of sustainability. Based on a literature review, experts' opinions and the technical characteristics of SSG, the evaluation model involves four sustainability criteria defined as economy, society, environment and technology aspects associated with 12 sub-criteria. Considering the ambiguity and vagueness of the subjective judgments on sub-criteria, fuzzy TOPSIS method is employed to evaluate the performance of SSG. In addition, different from previous research, this paper adopts the stochastic Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to upgrade the traditional Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) by addressing the fuzzy and stochastic factors within weights calculation. Finally, four regional smart grids in China are ranked by employing the proposed framework. The results show that the sub-criteria affiliated with environment obtain much more attention than that of economy from experts group. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis indicates the ranking list remains stable no matter how sub-criteria weights are changed, which verifies the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed model and evaluation results. This study provides a comprehensive and effective method for performance evaluation of SSG and also innovates the weights calculation for traditional TOPSIS.

“…The fuzzy AHP based studies can be grouped into 3 groups. The first group develops new fuzzy AHP methodologies or modifies the existing approaches: Jalao et al [132] propose a stochastic AHP method to overcome the problem of bounded rationality. The authors underline that decision makers have limited cognitive powers in specifying their preferences over multiple pairwise comparisons.…”

Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) refers to making decisions in the presence of multiple and usually conflicting criteria. Fuzzy decision-making is used where vague and incomplete data exist for the solution. Fuzzy multicriteria decision-making is one of the most popular problems handled by the researchers in the literature. In this paper, we survey the latest status of fuzzy multicriteria decision-making methods and classify these methods dividing into two parts: fuzzy multiattribute decision-making (MADM) and fuzzy multiobjective decision-making (MODM). Most of the publications are on fuzzy MADM since there are a plenty of classical multiattribute decision-making methods in the literature. Tabular and graphical illustrations for each method are given.

IT master plan, which allows planning and managing the development of the computer systems, derives its importance in the central role of the computer systems in the functioning of organizations. This article focuses on the use of FAHP method for analysis and evaluation of tenders during the awarding of contracts of IT master plan's realization. For those purposes, a painstaking work was realized for making an inventory of criteria and sub-criteria involved in the evaluation of tenders and for specifying the degrees of preference for each pair of criteria and sub-criteria. To find a provider for the IT master plan's realization, organizations are increasingly using tendering as the mode of awarding contracts. This paper is an improvement of a previous published paper in which AHP method was used. The goals of this work are to make available to members of tenders committee a decision support tool for evaluating tenders of IT master plan's realization and endow the organizations with effective IT master plans in order to increase their information systems' performance.

Email: ahmadou.diabagate@gmail.com INTRODUCTIONOrganizations increasingly use IT master plan for leading the development of the computer system which is an essential element for their operations [1]. Thus, public and private procurement of IT master plan's realization are becoming more frequent.The IT master plan is a strategic plan intended for piloting the development of IT in an organization. It allows having a computer system that meets the strategic options of the Directorate General. Its starting point is the strategy of an organization to reach the definition of a target in terms of IT and information system. The realization of an IT master plan aims at many objectives such as the urbanization of the computer system, the modernization of IT infrastructures (hardware and software), the reduction of IT costs, the accompaniment of the launch of strategic projects, the creation of monitoring indicators, the multi-sites deployment of the computer system.Organizations, in order to ensure their tasks, need to purchase goods or services or to execute work. These purchases designated by the term "procurement" play a considerable economic role and have a significant economic weight [2] estimated at about 20% of global GDP [3]. The award of contracts is a sensitive area as the economic interests at stake are huge [3], [4]. There are several modes for awarding contracts including tendering [5] which can be defined as a process that allows to emit a request for works, services and goods to businesses and then choose the provider after analysis of proposals according to predetermined criteria without negotiation [6].
