In this paper, we present (to the best of our knowledge) first outranking method to assign a score each alternative. This is part Electre family, and will call it Electre-Score. contrast Multi-Attribute Value Theory methods, Electre-Score does not construct value function for criterion proceed then aggregation into single value. Instead, makes use relations make comparison with sets reference a...

This paper is concerned with the following question: How to choose among Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) methods to solve dynamic decision making problems under uncertainty? To address this question, a methodology has been proposed, which is based on a characterization of the MCDA methods. The MCDA methods are characterized according to 1) sufficient conditions that allow their use to solve ...

We describe a real-life application of a new multicriteria method in the context of assisting the decision-making for a general plan in the municipality of Kirkkonummi in Uusimaa, Finland. At the time our group started working on the problem, a proposal for an overall plan had already been completed, but the order in which different regional parts of the plan should be implemented needed to be ...

nuclear plant siting problem• We had to determine what the study would have been if it had been conducted with the use of the ELECTRE III model. In this 'experiment ' , we are not interested in the practical problem for its own sake but in: the way to build criteria; the representation of a decision-maker's preferences; the use of the model and the nature of the derived prescription. Confrontin...

The Electre language has been developed as a resuit of the expérience of the automatic control department in the implementation of the real time control applications. These applications consist of many tasks that are conditionally executed and interrupted according to some events 'occurences. We propose a language semantic and in particular that of its fundamental operators: parallelism of task...

Our work intends to verify reactive systems with event memorization speciied with the reactive language Electre. For this, we deene a particular behavioral model for Electre programs , Reactive Fiio Automata (RFAs), which is close to Fifo Automata. Intuitively, a RFA is the model of a reactive system which may store event occurrences that must not be immediately taken into account. We show that...

Main decision-making problems can be described into choice, ranking or sorting of a set of alternatives or solutions. The principle of Electre TRI (ET) method is to sort alternatives ai according to criteria g j into categories Ch whose lower and upper limits are respectively bh and bh+1. The sorting procedure is based on the evaluations of outranking relations based firstly on calculation of p...

A number of recent papers have investigated the foundations of methods allowing to sort multi-attributed alternatives between several ordered categories. This paper has a similar objective. Our analysis uses a general conjoint measurement framework, encompassing most sorting models used in MDCM, that was proposed in the literature. Within this framework, we provide an axiomatic analysis of what...
