Abstract: The computer network security evaluation is a classical multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Recently, the Exponential TODIM TODIM (ExpTODIM) method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the computer network security evaluation. In this manuscript, the probabilistic linguistic ExpTODIM (PL-ExpTODIM) is built to solve the MAGDM under PLTSs. In the end, a numerical case study for computer network security evaluation is given to validate the proposed method. The main contribution of this paper is constructed: (1) the Exponential TODIM TODIM (ExpTODIM) method is extended to the PLTSs; (2) the probabilistic linguistic ExpTODIM (PL-ExpTODIM) method is defined to solve the MAGDM under PLTSs; (3) In the end, a numerical case study for computer network security evaluation is given to validate the proposed method.
