Abstract

Software selection is not a well-defined or structured decision problem. Lai et al. [5] uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to solve a Multimedia authoring systems (MAS) selection problem. However, the AHP method is difficult to obtain a convincing consistency index when the number of attributes or alternatives is increased. Hence, this paper applies the fuzzy preference relation (Fuzzy PreRa) method to solve the problems mentioned in the paper written by Lai et al. [5]. Applying the Fuzzy PreRa method to decision making is more efficient, as not only the ratio of the pairwise comparison times of the priority weight for the six factors between Fuzzy PreRa and AHP is 5:15, but also the outcome obtained by Fuzzy PreRa almost coincides with the one that produced by the AHP method.
