Transferring DEXi Qualitative Decision Models into Decision Deck Platform through the XMCDA Standard
نویسندگان
چکیده
DEXi is an educational Multi Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) computer program aimed at interactive development of qualitative multi-criteria and hierarchical decision models and the evaluation of options. XMCDA is an emerging data standard which enables the representation of Multi Criteria Decision Aid data elements in XML according to a clearly defined grammar. In this paper we investigate the methods and present some solutions of transferring qualitative DEXi decision models into XMCDA. The motivation for this work is to enable the use of DEXi models in the Decision Deck platform, which aims at collaboratively developing Open Source software implementing MCDA software tools.

Up to recently, the analysis of a decision problem via numerous Multiple Criteria Decision Aid (mcda) algorithms required to use various data formats. This lack of a unified standard for their input and output data has probably contributed to the poor adoption of mcda software by users. This chapter presents XMCDA, an initiative of the Decision Deck project, which is a unified data model enabli...
متن کاملA data model for algorithmic multiple criteria decision analysis
Various software tools implementing Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods have appeared over the last decades. Although MCDA methods share common features, most of the implementing software have been developed independently from scratch. Majority of the tools have a proprietary storage format and exchanging data among software is cumbersome. Common data exchange standard would be u...
