Abstract
This chapter presents five real-life applications of decision support methods and techniques, conducted within the SolEuNet Project. The problem areas were: (1) The selection of banks for the Slovenian National Housing Program, (2) Housing loan allocation, (3) diabetic foot risk assessment, (4) model development for the selection of information technology providers, and (5) the evaluation of research project proposals. The approach was based primarily on qualitative multi-attribute modeling, and was combined with databases and other general modeling methods. The bank selection case is presented in detail whereas the remaining four applications are presented quantitatively.
