Overview
In many real-world problems, several conflicting criteria need to be optimized simultaneously. Therefore, it is crucial to properly structure and solve the problem with relevant tools for supporting a decision maker. The purpose of the workshop is to provide knowledge and basic concepts, an overview of different methods and tools in solving multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems.
MCDM methods and tools have been found to be useful in several such applications e.g. health care, education, environment, transportation, business, and production. Some features of these methods and tools are:
