Supporting Scenario‐Based Decision‐Making With Multi‐Objective Optimization

open access: yesFUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 7, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Scenarios are commonly used to support decision‐making by evaluating how each decision alternative performs in each scenario. These evaluations are then used to identify the preferred alternative in view of all scenarios. Many suggested approaches interpret scenarios as mutually exclusive states, which enables the use of subjective expected ...
