Abstract
In the Chapter, some basic concepts of Bayesian probability theory are presented, as they provide the theoretical background for subsequent work. Hereinafter, multi-objective optimisation problems will be regarded in terms of search for information: the choice of the Bayesian theoretical structure relies on its power and flexibility in treating such problems.
