Multiple criteria decision analysis: state of the art surveys

摘要: In two volumes, this new edition presents the state of art in Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). Reflecting explosive growth field seen during last several years, editors not only present surveys foundations MCDA, but look as well at many areas and applications. Individual chapter authors are among most prestigious names MCDA research, combined their chapters bring completely up to date. Part I book considers history current with that cover early an overview discusses “pre-theoretical” assumptions MCDA. II then individual provide a very exhaustive review preference modeling, along devoted axiomatic basis different models multiple criteria preferences. III looks outranking methods, three consider ELECTRE PROMETHEE rich literature other methods. IV, on Multiattribute Utility Value Theories (MAUT), fundamentals approach, known UTA Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) its more recent extension, Network (ANP), MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by Categorical Based Evaluation Technique). V Non-Classical Approaches, risk uncertainty decision rule approach fuzzy integral verbal tentative assessment role sets analysis. VI, Multiobjective Optimization, contains developments vector set optimization, continuous multiobjective programming, combinatorial multicriteria goal interactive methods for solving optimization problems, relationships between evolutionary (EMO). VII, Applications, selects some significant areas, including contributions finance, energy planning telecommunication network design, sustainable development, portfolio Finally, VIII, MCDM software, software packages.
