One of the most crucial decision making processes in banking is optimally locating new branches. This issue is highly important especially for private banks due to vibrant competition, limited budgets and high customer expectations. This study’s objective is to provide an integrated model for selecting optimal site location using available data sources and well accepted decision models, specifically Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP).As a case study, we applied the proposed method for branch location of a private bank in the city of Rasht, Iran. The process identified the most commonly used …

In this paper, we provide a novel analytical hierarchy process decision-making framework for Web service security profiles. This framework aids in solving the dilemma of which Web service security profile is most fitting in a particular situation. This is because the developed framework allows architects and developers to take informed decisions following a systematic and manageable approach. In developing the framework, we followed the design-science research paradigm within which we incorporated a number of laboratory experiments.
