A multicriteria analysis decision support system

Published:17 June 2004Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper presents a multicriteria analysis decision support system called MultiChoice, designed to support decision makers in solving different multicriteria analysis problems. Various well-known methods and software systems are discussed. The basic features of the solving modules, the interface modules and the system modules are described.
