“…Moreover, further research also can use different methods and theory to predict the demand and compare the difference. Such as, Fuzzy set theory (Cassone, 2010;Jajimoggala et al, 2010;Uthayakumar & Valliathal, 2011) or ANP method (Kirytopoulos et al, 2011) and so on can be used.…”

The purpose of this research is to predict the total market demand of photovoltaic (PV) system of the world. By using the Grey forecasting model, the results were precise and valid. Then, the sensitivity analysis was conducted to select the most appropriate horizontal adjusting factor (HAF) and to determine the growth type of PV industry. The result showed the HAF was 0.4, which indicated the growth speed is in a low speed but very close to normal speed. The average residual error was 10.5% from 1995 to 2007 compared to the actual value in the same period. Then, the forecasted value from 2008 to 2011 showed an increasing shape and would reach 8554.9 MW in 2011. This research found the growth type of PV industry of the world, offering meaningful information for firms to decide the strategy in the future. For government, the result could also help to implement adequate policies to support the development of PV industry in the future.

The accumulation of large quantities of solid waste inside Mosul city becomes a real residential and municipal management problem. There are many reasons including the existence of unplanned dumping sites within the city boundaries, and the absence of scientific researches which applies modern techniques for selecting the optimal solid waste landfill. This study uses geographic information system (GIS) and analytic hierarchical process (AHP) which is used to extract the weights with the help of Super Decision SD software. The studied variables data can be classified according to specified processing method into two types: continuous data, and discrete data. The ranking map has been designed after multiplying each variable with its extracted weight, then the final map has been created based on the values obtained from the ranking map. The results show that the optimal landfill area is located at south west Mosul city. This study aims at building a model by using GIS to determine the optimal and potential solid waste landfill site.

“…Technically, the ANP method provides an algorithm for the homogenization of judgments used to compute the relative priorities of the model components. This way relative importance among criteria and clusters that influence the decision is presented (Kirytopoulos, Voulgaridou, & Rokou, 2011).…”

Although every problem has multiple solutions, many restrictions and various ways to be addressed, there are also many techniques, methods and approaches proposed by scholars and practitioners that can be implemented to help increase our decision making effectiveness. The Forum will address this issue by engaging participants to reach a group decision using a new tool in the form of a Microsoft Excel Add-In that supports the Group Analytic Network Process (GANP) and it is integrated with the Super Decisions software. An illustrative case concerning the decision of a city council on how to use a community lot based on given alternatives (among a new parking lot, a hospital and sustainable landfill) and preselected criteria will be used during the Forum. The results of this game will provide significant insights for the group decision making process, explore the proposed techniques and bring out the advantages and disadvantages reported in literature.
