“…This involves documented methods for how opinions are elicited, how they are combined, and how they are integrated with other facets of the analysis. The trend is manifest in the academic literature -for recent illustrative examples see Zhou (2017), Forteza (2016), and Kokangul (2017) and in regulatory guidance (Boring et al, 2005).…”

“…D-S evidence theory directly expresses uncertain information by allocating the probability to the multiple object based subsets in lieu of individual items [67]. Due to its ability to compare pairs of evidence or belief functions when deriving new ones, and its superiority in an uncertain environment, evidence theory has been widely applied in various domains [22,34,39,[68][69][70].…”

Multi-stakeholder based construction projects are subject to potential risk factors due to dynamic business environment and stakeholders' lack of knowledge. When solving project management tasks, it is necessary to quantify the main risk indicators of the projects. Managing these requires suitable risk mitigation strategies to evaluate and analyse their severity. The existence of information asymmetry also causes difficulties with achieving Pareto efficiency. Hence, to ensure balanced satisfaction of all participants, risk evaluation of these projects can be considered as an important part of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. In real-life problems, evaluation of project risks is often uncertain and even incomplete, and the prevailing methodologies fail to handle such situations. To address the problem, this paper extends the analytical network process (ANP) methodology in the D numbers domain to handle three types of ambiguous information's, viz. complete, uncertain, and incomplete, and assesses the weight of risk criteria. The D numbers based approach overcomes the deficiencies of the exclusiveness hypothesis and completeness constraint of Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory. Here, preference ratings of the decision matrix for each decision-maker are determined using a D numbers extended consistent fuzzy preference relation (D-CFPR). An extended multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method in D numbers is then developed to rank and select the best alternative risk response strategy. Finally, an illustrative example from construction sector is presented to check the feasibility of the proposed approach. For checking the reliability of alternative ranking, a comparative analysis is performed with different MCDM approaches in D numbers domain. Based on different criteria weights, a sensitivity analysis of obtained ranking of the hybrid D-ANP-MABAC model is performed to verify the robustness of the proposed method.

“…Facility location problem can be seen as a network optimization [55]. Many methods for optimization and decision-making under uncertainty, such as fuzzy sets [56][57][58], evidence theory [59], and D numbers [60][61][62], are applied to address this issue [63,64]. For the sake of simplicity, the problem is abstracted into a given undirected graph that consists of some network nodes.…”

To cope with the facility location problem, a method based on simulated annealing and "ZKW" algorithm is proposed in this article. The method is applied to some real cases, which aims to deploy video content server at appropriate nodes in an undirected graph to satisfy the requirements of the consumption nodes with the least cost. Simulated annealing can easily find the optimum with less reliance on the initial solution. "ZKW" algorithm can find the shortest path and calculate the least cost from the server node to consumption node quickly. The results of three kinds of cases illustrate the efficiency of our method, which can obtain the optimum within 90 s. A comparison with Dijkstra and Floyd algorithms shows that, by using "ZKW" algorithm, the method can have large iteration with limited time. Therefore, the proposed method is able to solve this video content server location problem.
