Applications of IBMM

The AHP and ANP are two of the widely used MCDM methods, and have been extensively applied to the real-world decision making problems. However, the inconsistency issue and missing item scores issue are still two of the major issues when AHP and ANP are used. In the previous Chapters, the IBMM is proposed to deal with the inconsistency issue, missing item scores, and rank reversal issue. In this Chapter, the IBMM is applied to two real world applications, the Task Scheduling and Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing Environment by AHP and Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis by ANP. Details are presented in Sects. 7.1 and 7.2.
