USING FUZZY MULTI CRITERIA DECISION MAKING APPROACH FOR RANKING THE WEB BROWSERS

Internet users need methods to ascertain web browser performance in a simple manner. The objective of this study was to construct a practical approach based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process for selecting the best web browsers. In this paper five alternatives and five criteria are considered. These alternatives and criteria, synthesize from experts� knowledge and judgments. Fuzzy AHP has chosen to calculate the relative weights of selecting methods in order to reduce vagueness and ambiguity of information and ranking. It shows that the proposed fuzzy AHP model for selecting the web browsers can be a useful and effective assessment tool.
