MCDA

Proceedings of the 2017 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining 2017, 2017
This paper introduces a parameterless approach named MCDA: Multidimensional Communities Detection Algorithm. MCDA adopts a local search mechanism which is inspired from the label propagation principle. To this end, we design a novel propagation rule that exploits the most frequently used interaction dimensions among neighbors as an additional ...

Desktop GIS-MCDA

2015
The implementation of GIS-based MCDA has evolved in step with advances in GIS and information technology in general. Historically, implementations were isolated through the use of specific scripting or programming languages and incompatible GIS data structures.

Development of GIS-MCDA

2015
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.

Comparison of MCDA Paradigms

1999
The underlying concepts of MAUT, SMART, AHP, preference cones, ZAPROS, and outranking methods are compared. Learning systems are considered. The learning view is that decision makers initially do not fully understand all of the criteria that are important.

Geometrical representations for MCDA

European Journal of Operational Research, 1988
Abstract 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.

Theoretical Foundations of MCDA

2017
Decision-makers in the healthcare sector face a global challenge of developing robust, evidence-based methods for making decisions about whether to fund, cover, or reimburse medical technologies. Allocating scarce resources across technologies is difficult because a range of criteria are relevant to a healthcare decision, including the effectiveness ...

Introduction to GIS-MCDA

2015
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 ...

MCDA Problems Under Uncertainty

2011
Many researchers emphasize that a real challenge in modeling MCDA problems is how to incorporate the uncertainty of the input data. MCDA models for water and environmental management, similar to many areas, face uncertainties that generally arise from two sources: random or probabilistic uncertainty related to environmental, economic or technical data,

MCDA and Energy Planning

2006
The growing environmental awareness and the apparent conflict between economic and environmental objectives was the main impetus that pushed energy planners during the early eighties towards the use of MCDA methods. Thereafter, the rapid changes and the increasing complexity of the energy market gave rise to further methodological developments ...
