....Process (AHP) for consolidating the evaluation data for decision making purposes. The AHP technique was developed by Thomas Saaty for multiple criteria decision making situations [37,38] The technique has been widely and successfully used in several fields [39] including software engineering [19] and software selection [23,32] It has been reported to be an effective technique in multiple criteria decision making situations in several case studies and experiments [13,20,39,42] Due to the hierarchical treatment of our criteria, AHP fits well into our evaluation process as well. AHP is ....
....criteria decision making problem into a criteria hierarchy. At each level in the hierarchy the relative importance of factors is assessed by comparing them in pairs. Finally, the alternatives are compared in pairs with respect to the criteria. The following are the main steps in applying AHP [19,38]: 1. Define a hierarchy of factors that influence the decision, resulting in a hierarchical structure of factors that have alternatives as the leaf nodes in the hierarchy 2. Define the importance of factors on each level 3. Define the preferences of alternatives 4. Check the consistency of ....

.... AHP suits a wide range of applications including transport study, technological choice, resource allocation and organization planning [7] The method has been gaining popularity as a viable decision support tool in a number of fields such as economics, politics, marketing, sociology and management [2, 14]. A description of the procedure is given here in five stages: 1. Criteria are identified from the problem space. A hierarchical structure is formed by using the overall goal as a root of the decision tree and making each major criterion a child. Each criterion in turn is detailed to provide ....
