Multicriteria decision-making weights and a competitive product design

A Multicriteria Decision Making Environment for Engineering Design and Production Decision-Making

A novel environment for optimization, analytics and decision support in general engineering design problems is introduced. The utilized methodology is based on reactive search optimization (RSO) procedure and its recently implemented visualization software packages. The new set of powerful integrated data mining, modeling, visualiztion and learning tools via a handy procedure stretches beyond a...

Spatial Multicriteria Decision Making

DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...

Multicriteria Optimization and Decision Making

A multicriteria competitive Markov decision process

In this paper, we deal with a multicriteria competitive Markov decision process. In the decision process there are two decision makers with a competitive behaviour, so they are usually called players. Their rewards are coupled because depend on the actions chosen by both players in each state of the process. We propose as solution of this game the set of Pareto-optimal security strategies for a...

Interval-Based Multicriteria Decision Making

The aim of this paper is to show how non-additive measures and intervals can be combined in order to provide a simple and accurate approach to multi-criteria decision making problems. We construct an interval-based Choquet integral in order to derive preferences over a set of multidimensional alternatives. Preferences are no longer real number comparisons, but interval comparisons, which is not...
