In this paper it is outlined the methodology of the model MIREM (Multicriteria Industrial and Regional Economic Model) as the empirical framework for the implementation of an industrial policy in the CEECs countries aspiring to enter the European Union. Its epistemological foundations are taken from M. Porter Theory of Competitive Advantage and B. Balassa Theory of Economic Integration and focu...

We present in this paper a real world application for the elicitation of decision parameters used in the evaluation of thermal comfort in high speed trains. The model representing the thermal comfort is a hierarchical one and we propose to use different aggregation methods for different levels of the model. The methods used are rule-based aggregation, Electre Tri and 2-additive Choquet. We show...

Robustness analysis and visualization are two of key concepts of multi-criteria decision support. They enable the decision-maker to improve his understanding of both the model and the problem domain. A class of original mathematical optimization based robustness metrics is hence defined in this paper. In addition, several efficient existing techniques that have been successfully used in various...
