Interactive Methods

  • Chapter
Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis: State of the Art Surveys

Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science ((ISOR,volume 78))

Abstract

We provide an introduction to the use of interactive methods in multiple objective programming. We focus on discussing the principles to implement those methods. Our purpose is not to review existing procedures, but some examples are picked to illustrate the main ideas behind those procedures. Furthermore, we discuss two available software systems developed to implement interactive methods. Abstract
