Abstract
When there are several outcomes, all of which include a pick you are interested in, which one of these outcomes do you choose? How do you choose it? Which one is the “best”? What tells you, in a model, if an outcome is “better” than another? This chapter focuses on how to enable languages to represent preferences and criteria, and then identify the best outcome. I discuss the following questions: 1. What are preferences and criteria? (Sect. 14.2) 2. How to represent preferences and criteria. (Sect. 14.3) 3. Where to find criteria in requirements. (Sect. 14.4) 4. How to use preferences to find the best outcomes in models. (Sect. 14.5)
