A Multi-Criteria Decision Making to Rank Android based Mobile Applications for Mathematics
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
Exponential growth in the amount of mobile applications for Mathematics has led users to confusion and difficulty in selecting proper application manually which suits to their needs. Therefore, there exists an imperative need for automated and efficient selection of mobile applications for Mathematics where users still heavily trust either application store ratings or the content rated by the application developer. In this study, fuzzy scale weights together with ELECTRE I (ELimination and Choice Expressing REality) were used to solve a typical multi-criteria decision making problem on ranking selected mobile applications for Mathematics with respect to given set of criteria. The alternatives are mobile applications for Mathematics and were chosen from Google Play Store through considering top five highest user ratings and high usage frequencies. Ten sets of criteria on technical and pedagogical aspects specific to mobile applications and five alternatives were used in the ranking process. Findings suggest that ELECTRE I with fuzzy scale weights are remarkably practical for outranking and selection processes. Particularly in the case of unclear and imprecise ratings, this method could offer substantial solution.
