In this study, we develop an approach based on analytic network process (ANP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of Research and Development projects. We identify a set of criteria and subcriteria having interdependencies among themselves. Interdependency is treated using a hybrid ANP model consisting of both hierarchy and network. The interval pairwise comparison matrices are constructed in a group decision-making process. ANP is extended to obtain interval weights from the interval pairwise comparison matrices. Interval weights are formulated as assurance region constraints in a super-efficiency DEA model, through which the project ranking is obtained. The super-efficiency DEA model is also modified to handle missing data. The approach is applied to a real case study on performance evaluation of the ongoing projects in a Defense Research and Development Institute.

R&D project performance evaluation with multiple and interdependent criteria Tohumcu, Zeynep; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this study, an Analytic Network Process (ANP) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based approach was developed in order to measure the performance of customer-based Research and Development projects being executed in TÜB TAKSAGE, Defense Research and Development Institute, under the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. In order to evaluate project performance, many criteria, containing various subcriteria were determined. In order to handle the interdependencies among the criteria and...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01) In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
Multipath Characteristics of Frequency Diverse Arrays Over a Ground Plane Cetintepe, Cagri; Demir, Şimşek (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-07-01) This paper presents a theoretical framework for an analytical investigation of multipath characteristics of frequency diverse arrays (FDAs), a task which is attempted for the first time in the open literature. In particular, transmitted field expressions are formulated for an FDA over a perfectly conducting ground plane first in a general analytical form, and these expressions are later simplified under reasonable assumptions. Developed formulation is then applied to a uniform, linear, continuous-wave opera...
RC Performance Evaluation of Interconnect Architecture Options Beyond the 10-nm Logic Node Kıncal, Serkan; Abraham, Mathew C.; Schuegraf, Klaus (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of an RC performance modeling approach for evaluating various material and architecture options by which interconnect wires are incorporated onto integrated circuits. For the present dual-damascene structure, the grain boundary and surface scattering modes are identified as the top contributors to resistance degradation, along with the cross-sectional area consumed by the liner/barrier layers. Self-forming barriers, a technology that provides direct Cu-insulator interfaces...
A healthcare facility location problem for a multi -disease, multi -service environment under risk aversion Taymaz, S.; Iyigun, C.; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Dellaert, N. P. (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) This paper presents a stochastic optimisation model for locating walk-in clinics for mobile populations in a network. The walk-in clinics ensure a continuum of care for the mobile population across the network by offering a perpetuation of services along the transportation lines, and also establishing referral systems to local healthcare facilities. The continuum of care requirements for different diseases is modelled using coverage definitions that are designed specifically to reflect the adherence protoco...
