knowCube for MCDM – Visual and Interactive Support for Multicriteria Decision Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel multicriteria decision support system (MCDSS), called knowCube, consisting of components for knowledge organization, generation, and navigation. Knowledge organization rests upon a database for managing qualitative and quantitative criteria, together with add-on information. Knowledge generation serves filling the database via e.g. identification, optimization, classification or simulation. For “finding needles in haycocks”, the knowledge navigation component supports graphical database retrieval and interactive, goal-oriented problem solving. Navigation “helpers” are, for instance, cascading criteria aggregations, modifiable metrics, ergonomic interfaces, and customizable visualizations. Examples from real-life projects, e.g. in industrial engineering and in the life sciences, illustrate the application of our MCDSS.

Approximation and visualization of Pareto frontier: Interactive Decision Maps technique
An effective approach to decision support in multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems characterized by three to eight decision criteria is described. The approach is based on approximating the feasible set in the criterion space (or a broader criterion set, which has the same Pareto frontier) and visualization of the Pareto frontier by interactive displaying bi-criterion slices of this set...

The environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a real problem of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) where information, as much quantitative as qualitative, coexists. The traditional methods of MCDM developed for the EIA discriminates in favor of quantitative information at the expense of qualitative information, because we are unable to integrate this latter information inside their procedure. ...
