  <abstract>The problem considered in this paper is that of selecting, from a set of proposals or a subset of projects to be undertaken. Technology project assess- ment is influenced by a large number of factors, and many times it is hard to measure them in numbers or an objectively way. This paper addresses this by pre- senting a method for identifying and assessing key project characteristics, which are crucial for a technol- ogy projectâ€™s assessment. Fistly, this paper builds a new set of indicators of technology project assessment after analysing the process of it. Secondly, this paper introduces two aggregation operators in the technol- ogy project to deal with two situations of technology project assessment respectively, including linguistic and subjective information and pair comparison of pref- erence relation. The methods consist of a number of well-defined steps, which are described in detail. Fi- nally, examples show that the proposed methods with the linguistic decision analysis are useful and provide an understanding way for the decision maker.</abstract>
