Abstract

Decision making may involve multiple viewpoints which are comparing the given options according to different preference relations. The paper studies questions that arise when multiple viewpoints are merged into a single one. It shows how more specific preference statements over the merged viewpoint can override ceteris-paribus preferences resulting from aggregating the preferences of the individual viewpoints.

This paper is a fully revised version of an article of same title published in the AAAI Technical Report WS-07-10 and of which the author has retained the ownership.
