Illustrating the support of the MCDA process by the diviz workbench
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, we illustrate how the MCDA process can be supported by the use of a decision aid software called diviz. The diviz workbench allows to build, execute and share complex workflows of MCDA algorithms, and as such, is a convenient tool to help the analyst to perform the decision aid process. We start by a presentation of diviz, before switching to the detailed description of a fictive MCDA process, based on a classical example from the MCDA literature. We show how each major step of this process can be backed up by diviz, and how the software can help to build the final recommendation.

متن کاملMaking Decision Support System for Utilization of Biogas in Iran
The use of renewable energy sources is often suggested to be a good solution for climate change and the dependency to fossil fuel. Biogas utilization is a one of these promising options that can mitigate these problems since biogas is produced by the fermentation of waste, so is rich in methane and has the same characteristics as natural gas. Biogas has increasingly been noticed in different co...
متن کاملMobile Maps and More - Extending Location-Based Services with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis
Maps are often used as decision support tools in both, desktop geographic information systems (GIS) and mobile GIS environments. The decision support capabilities of current location-based services (LBS) are limited to navigation support and database querying with no analytic evaluation of the attractiveness of alternative destinations being offered. This chapter demonstrates how LBS can be ext...
