Abstract
The paper proposes an evaluation model based on fuzzy AHP to help users select CAS that best matches their requirements. The subjectiveness and imprecision of the evaluation process are modeled using linguistic terms. The evaluation criteria framework based on the usability and problem solving capability of CAS is developed. Fuzzy AHP is employed to determine the relative importance weights of criteria and the preference order of alternatives. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed methodology is illustrated.
