Summary
The aim of this paper is to present a multiple-criteria decision-making method based on the fuzzy measure and fuzzy integral for selecting an information system project. The main point is that fuzzy integrals are able to model interaction between criteria in a flexible way for criteria aggregation in decision problems. In this paper, decision-makers' opinions are described by linguistic terms expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. After aggregating the fuzzy ratings of all decision-makers, the vertex method is applied to transform the aggregated fuzzy rating into a crisp value. And then, a new algorithm is developed to deal with the multiple-criteria decision-making problems. Finally, at the end of this paper a numerical example is given to demonstrate the procedure for the proposed method.

The Development of a Framework for Selecting a Management Information System
1 Introduction
In general, the development of any Information System (IS) project requires large investments of resources, such as human resources, computer software and hardware resources, operational procedures adjustments, and so on. Therefore, IS project selection is an important issue in any business activities (Lee and Kim, 2001; Santhanam and Kyparisis, 1995). The optimal selection of a set of IS projects from among competing candidate projects is a significant resource allocation decision that enhance operational competitive advantages of a business. However, IS project selection is difficult due to there are lots of multiple factors in the candidate IS projects, such as business ...See the full content of this document
