Intelligent decision system based on the evidential reasoning approach and its applications

Xu D. L., Yang J. B.

Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology

nr 3

73-80

Intelligent decision system (IDS) is a window-based software package that has been developed on the basis of the evidential reasoning (ER) approach, a recent development in handling hybrid multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems with uncertainties. In this paper, the evidential reasoning approach will be briefly described first, and its major differences from and the relationships with conventional MCDA methods will also be discussed. Then the main features, advantages and benefits of IDS will be demonstrated and explained using two application examples: supplier pre-qualification assessment and customer satisfaction survey analysis, which have been investigated as part of the research projects led by the authors and funded by the UK government and the EC. It is concluded in the paper that the ER approach can be used not only to deal with problems that traditional methods can solve, but also to model and analyse more complicated decision problems that traditional methods are incapable of handling.

There are advantages in considering the routing problem in integrated communication networks as a multiobjective shortest path problem, having in mind to grasp eventual conflicts and trade-offs among distinct objectives and quality of services (QoS) constraints. On the other hand the utilisation of dynamic routing methods in various types of networks is well known to have significant impact on network performance and cost, namely in overload and failure conditions. This paper presents the detailed formulation of a proposal of a multiple objective dynamic routing method (MODR) of periodic state dependent routing type, enabling to represent distinct QoS related metrics and requirements in a consistent manner. The MODR method present formulation is based on a multiple objective shortest path model with constraints and is prepared to use implied costs as one of the metrics. Alternative paths tor each traffic flow are changed as a function of periodic updates of certain QoS related parameters estimated from real time measurements on the routes and trunks of the network. Such paths are computed by a specialised and efficient variant of a bi-objective shortest path constrained algorithm, developed for the MODR, enabling to incorporate flexible requirements on the QoS metrics. The architecture of the routing system is discussed together with the features of its main modules. An illustrative example of application of the MODR path calculation module to a circuit-switched type network using blocking probability and implied cost as metrics, is also presented, considering different overload conditions.
