Talking about the Practice of MCDA
2002Graph Theory with path-breaking contributions on the theory of flows in networks and project scheduling, Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding with the invention of the family of ELECTRE methods and methodological contribution to decision-aiding which lead to the creation of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).

A stakeholder approach to MCDA
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 1998Research into quantitative decision-making has undeniably made considerable progress in recent years, having gone from coping with single decision-maker, single criterion to multiple decision-makers, multiple criteria decisions situations. Suitable mathematical methods and instruments have been perfected and are now quite sophisticated.

The quantitative importance of criteria For MCDA
Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, 2002AbstractThis paper presents theoretical foundations for the description of preferences in multiple criteria decision making models using quantitative estimates of the relative importance of criteria. We develop simple decision rules that define the preference and indifference relations induced by the information about the quantitative importance of ...

This chapter traces the roots of GIS-MCDA and focuses on recent developments in GIS-MCDA research. It describes two research traditions underlying the development of GIS-MCDA: Operations Research and Management Sciences (OR/MS) and landscape architecture/planning.

A closely related type of problem in MCDA to that of sorting is clustering. As in Data Mining, in MCDA too, no unanimous definition of clustering is given. We address this by formally defining several types of clustering in a MCDA context. We base our definitions on any outranking relation from which different preferential situations can be extracted ...

An Integrated Approach to MCDA
2002In this final chapter we return to focus on and explicitly to address the title and overarching theme of the book — An Integrated Approach to Multicriteria Decision Analysis. This discussion is directed at both theoreticians and practitioners in the MCDA community.

Geometrical representations for MCDA
European Journal of Operational Research, 1988Abstract In this paper geometrical representations for multicriteria decision problems are proposed. This new approach provides assistance to understand the conflictual aspects of the criteria and to tackle the problem of the weights associated to them.

Our discussions so far have focused on methods for multicriteria analysis and their use in practice, at times looking at how we can enhance the practice of MCDA by drawing on methods and practice from other fields, in particular in relation to problem structuring and implementation issues. These two aspects emphasize the importance of viewing MCDA in a

This chapter discusses the main elements and concepts of MCDA. A number of approaches for defining decision problems have been suggested in the MCDA literature. At the most rudimentary level, a multi-criteria decision problem involves a set of alternatives that are evaluated on the basis of conflicting and incommensurate criteria according to the ...

The aim of this presentation is to highlight the latest developments on innovative methodological tools which can support research, teaching and consulting activities in the field of Multicriteria Decision Aid (MCDA). We first focus on the diviz software, which allows to combine very conveniently distributed calculation resources via so-called ...
