PROMETHEEmethods are widely used in Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) to deal with real world decision making problems. In this paper, we propose to apply the Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) to the family of PROMETHEEmethods in order to explore the whole set of parameters compatible with some preference information provided by the Decision Maker (DM). The applicati...

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to aid decision-making for sustainable development. However, although uncertainty is present in all decision environments, dealing with incomplete and vague information analysis remains a challenge. Our objective simplify the incorporation of scoring alternatives MCDA processes. We modified ELimination Choice Translating REal...

Sustainable development requires implementing suitable policies integrating several competing objectives on economic, environmental, energy and social criteria. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) using goal programming is a popular and widely used technique to study decision problems in the face of multiple conflicting objectives. MCDA assists policy makers by providing clarity in choosing...

The fundamental problem underlying all multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems is that of dominance between any two alternatives: ‘Given two alternatives A and B, each described by a set criteria, is A preferred to B with respect to a set of decision maker (DM) preferences over the criteria?’. Depending on the application in which MCDA is performed, the alternatives may represent strat...

Military issues have great relevance worldwide since they affect the security and sovereignty of nations. In this context, application Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods is important because accurate decision-making deciding factor for success, which can reduce expenses increase defense capacity. This paper aims to present a literature review on main applications MCDA in military ar...

BACKGROUND Since the introduction of the orphan drugs legislation in Europe, it has been suggested that the general method of assessing drugs for reimbursement is not necessarily suitable for orphan drugs. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence indicated that several criteria other than cost and efficacy could be considered in reimbursement decisions for orphan drugs. This st...

Over the past decade, adverse impacts of climate change and excessive urbanization have contributed to several unfamiliar costly floods in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), especially Qatar. With limited historical rainfall records unprecedented precipitation intensities impacting efficiency hydrological models, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) presents a suitable alternative approach asse...
