چکیده

4 We present a systematic framework to manage conflicts among multiple decision makers (stake5 holders) arising in the multiobjective design and operations of process systems. Addressing such 6 situations is particularly relevant in sustainability studies because many conflicting social, envi7 ronmental, and economic objectives need to considered. The proposed framework factors in the 8 opinion of the stakeholders and computes a compromise solution that seeks to minimize a mea9 sure of their dissatisfactions. We propose to use conditional-value-at-risk (CVaR) as a measure 10 of dissatisfaction as this provides a generalization of average and worst-case metrics considered 11 previously in the literature. In addition, the use of CVaR enables us to shape the distribution of 12 dissatisfactions and to avoid extreme conservativeness of worst-case solutions. A key advantage 13 of the proposed framework is that it does not require the computation of a Pareto front and can 14 thus be used to address problems with many stakeholders and objectives. Examples are presented 15 to illustrate the concepts. 16
