Abstract
In this study, an intelligent, integrated approach is presented to help educators select the best simulation software package. Selecting the best simulation software package for educational use is a complex multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with several potentially conflicting quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this paper, two fuzzy MCDM methods; fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) and fuzzy VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (F-VIKOR) are integrated to evaluate educational use simulation software package alternatives. In the proposed fuzzy AHP-VIKOR approach, F-AHP is used to determine the fuzzy criteria weights and F-VIKOR is applied to rank simulation software package alternatives with respect to these criteria. A case study is given where several educational use simulation software packages in Turkey are evaluated and ranked.
