Abstract
The last paper in the series is devoted to description of features of MIDA — Multiobjective Interactive Decision Aid designed by the authors for programming development of the chemical industry. Because MIDA system was used to carry out the analysis reported in the former papers, the reader can find here details that can supplement his opinion of the whole activities in the application field. The paper attempts to gather most of important assumptions that can be formulated with respect to the architecture and functionality of a DSS and to show how they can be realized in the support system based in its core on the multiobjective optimization problem.
