Abstract
Many of the theoretical developments in Multicriteria Decision Analysis took off in the seventies and eighties. In the meantime, the field has attracted many academic researchers from literally all over the world and from a great variety of disciplines. Also, many of the approaches proposed to tackle multicriteria decision problems have been and are being used in practice. Some approaches have even gained a rather wide acceptance in practice. One may wonder what is the reason for the enormous attention for and success of multicriteria decision analysis. At the same time one may also wonder why the use of multicriteria decision analysis in practice has not yet been much larger, where so many researchers are strongly convinced of its great potential and practical relevance.
