Abstract
Database Management Systems (DBMS) play an important role to support enterprise application developments. Selection of the right DBMS is a crucial decision for software engineering process. This selection requires optimizing a number of criteria. Evaluation and selection of DBMS among several candidates tend to be very complex. It requires both quantitative and qualitative issues. Wrong selection of DBMS will have a negative effect on the development of enterprise application. It can turn out to be costly and adversely affect business process. The following study focuses on the evaluation of a multi criteria decision problem by the usage of fuzzy logic. We will demonstrate the methodological considerations regarding to group decision and fuzziness based on the DBMS selection problem. We developed a new Fuzzy AHP based decision model which is formulated and proposed to select a DBMS easily. In this decision model, first, main criteria and their sub criteria are determined for the evaluation. Then these criteria are weighted by pair-wise comparison, and then DBMS alternatives are evaluated by assigning a rating scale.
