In this study, a framework to circumvent the difficulties in selecting proper flood routing method was established by employing two different multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) tools, namely, TOPSIS and PROMETHEE, with definite decisive criteria such as error metrics, number of model parameters, background, under three scenarios. For eight distinct datasets, parameters 10 Muskingum models ...

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 me...
