A multicriteria decision-making approach to university resource allocations and information infrastructure planning

This paper presents an application of zero–one goal programming (GP) as an aid for resource allocations for information infrastructure planning in a university. The GP model is developed and analyzed to address the dramatic growth in information technology use and network planning. The analytic hierarchy process method is used to assign proper weights to prioritized project goals. Sensitivity analyses are performed to improve the model applicability. The application of the GP model adds insight to the planning functions of the University's information systems.
