Description
Summary:A decision support system to select a computer-family using an objective evaluation process is developed. A computer-family is defined as a group of computers from microcomputer to mainframe with compatible operating systems and software. Saaty's analytic hierarchy process is applied to the weighing and scoring stages of the computer-family selection methodology presented by Borovits and Zviran. The result is a decision support system incorporating an objective and comprehensive methodology for computer-family selection.
