Abstract:
The core of operations research is the development of approaches
for optimal decision making. A prominent class of such problems
is multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). The typical MCDM
problem deals with the evaluation of a set of alternatives in
terms of a set of decision criteria. This paper provides a
comprehensive survey of some methods for eliciting data for MCDM
problems and also for processing such data.
