The Multi-Partner Research Initiative: A Scientific Research Network to Support Decision Making in Oil Spill Response

Using the TODIM-FSE method as a decision-making support methodology for oil spill response

This paper introduces a multi-criteria method for solving classification problems, called TODIM-FSE. This name was chosen because its structure merges characteristics from two different methods: TODIM and FSE. In order to demonstrate TODIM-FSE, a model was constructed aimed at helping potential users to decide upon suitable contingency plans for oil spill situations. The model is envisaged as e...

A new paradigm in oil spill modeling for decision making?

Using Research to Support Management Decision Making in Schools
