INFUS (http://infus.itu.edu.tr) is an acronym for Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems. It is an international research forum to advance the foundations and applications of intelligent and fuzzy systems, computational intelligence, and soft computing for applied research in general and for complex engineering and decision support systems. The principal mission of INFUS is bridging the gap between fuzzy and intelligence systems and real complex systems via joint research between universities and international research institutions, encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing multidiscipline researchers together.

The following reflections refer to the development and reporting of public decision-making studies. These observations are provided with the hope of improving the quality and validity of multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) studies in the public sector. While my thoughts here are not intended to be a comprehensive study of how to report public MCDM studies, my intention is to highlight some key elements that are often not properly addressed by researchers. These observations are particularly relevant for AHP/ANP applications due to their widespread use in public decision-making.

We had a wonderful welcome from the conference organizers Alessio Ishizaka (Chair), Banu Lokman (Co-chair), Dylan Jones (Program Chair), Ashraf Labib, Salvatore Greco, Negar Akbari, Maria Barbati and Salem Chakhar of the 26th International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM2022) which was held at the University of Portsmouth, UK from June 26 - July 1, 2022. The purpose of the MCDM conference is to bring together the MCDM community every two years. This year however, there had been a gap of three years since our last meeting because of Covid. Conference organizers did not want us to miss the opportunity to experience face-to-face interaction with students and colleagues in Portsmouth, UK, so they rescheduled MCDM 2021 to 2022. I am sure most of the participants benefited from the discussions after the talks, and enjoyed the social program that brings our community closer together and inspires future collaboration.

This paper is in memory of Professor Thomas L. Saaty, who died on the 14th of August 2017. In a problem-solving process, the first step is to model a real-world problem. The modeling effort is one of the hardest parts of the process, and there is no universal way to do it. The initial step involves structuring the problem and obtaining a simplified problem so that any multi-criteria or statistical models can be applied. This paper intends to explain the modeling process through subjective geometry. Although creative thinking is critical in developing the hierarchies and networks in the Analytic Hierarchy or Network Process (AHP/ANP), models from business management and information theories can supply a verified ready-to-use relationship among elements and their clusters. We hope the exploration offers a guideline for utilizing the AHP/ANP in more detail.

Fisheries management policies are needed to achieve the prosperity of society in Indonesia. The auction process at fisheries in Indonesia does not run optimally; therfore, the impact of the role and function of fish auctions is not yet the best it could be in some areas. This study aimed to formulate a strategy for managing 2nd and 3rd class fish auction places in Pati Regency. The research locations were the Puncel, Banyutowo, Alasdowo, Sambiroto, Margomulyo, and Pecangaan fish auctions in the Pati Regency. The research was conducted from January 2021 to November 2021. The research respondents, namely a sample of critical figures (key persons), were determined by purposive sampling of as many as 15 people. Data was analyszed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process and Expert Choice 11.0 software. The study results prioritize the most critical management strategies, namely fish production with a weight of 0.309 (30.9%), infrastructure with a weight of 0.295 (29.5%), institutions with a weight of 0.206 (20.6%), and human resources with a weight 0.190 (19.0%). The priority of alternative management strategies is as follows: (1) maintaining the existence of businesses run by fishermen, with a weight of 0.172 (17.2%), (2) improving facilities and infrastructure to support fish auction place operations, with a weight of 0.164 (16.4%), and (3) increasing the number of catches landed, with a weight 0.145 (14.5%).

Today, the university plays an important role in establishing a relationship between industry and academia by training a specialized workforce. Due to the important role of the university in the development of a country, evaluating the performance of the faculty or research centers of universities is one of the vital issues in the quality management of universities. In this paper, a performance evaluation method is presented for three faculty of a university located in Istanbul, Turkey (the name of university is kept in confidential due to the request of the university’s expert). The proposed method is based on the combination of Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). First, BSC and AHP are integrated, and then the strategies and measures are introduced for each perspective of BSC. Then, by implementing the TOPSIS method, a comprehensive performance evaluation approach was proposed and discussed with the university management. The proposed methodology was validated by a real case study based on the judgments of students and verified by sensitivity analysis. Finally, several managerial insights, conclusions, and suggestions for future studies are presented.

Recently, life cycle cost (LCC) has gained a wide acceptance in the field of industrial building construction, where it is categorized under economic sustainability in the overall sustainability of buildings. Hence, it is necessary to think about the categories and criteria that affect the building’s cost over its lifespan. In this study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multi-criteria decision-making methodology, is employed to evaluate and weight four categories which are building blocks of the LCC of industrial building construction. The assessment model applies seventeen criteria which are distributed under the following four categories: initial cost, operating or maintenance cost, environmental impact cost, and the end of life. These are evaluated by thirty-seven civilian experts responding to a pair wise questionnaire. The results are significant as they reflect the viewpoints of the civilian experts and can aid in the development of a building's economic sustainability by illuminating the impact factors of the life cycle cost of buildings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to handle criteria evaluation of LCC for sustainable building using the AHP multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology.
