The aim of this paper is to present a multiple-criteria decision-making method based on the fuzzy measure and fuzzy integral for selecting an information system project. The main point is that fuzzy integrals are able to model interaction between criteria in a flexible way for criteria aggregation in decision problems. In this paper, decision-makers' opinions are described by linguistic terms expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. After aggregating the fuzzy ratings of all decision-makers, the vertex method is applied to transform the aggregated fuzzy rating into a crisp value. And then, a new algorithm is developed to deal with the multiple-criteria decision-making problems. Finally, at the end of this paper a numerical example is given to demonstrate the procedure for the proposed me...
