Important elements for the success of the PROMETHEE methods have been the development of numerous extensions and interactive software. The purpose of the paper is to show the evolution of the PROMETHEE methods and of their software implementation over time. Starting with PROMCALC and the first visual sensitivity analysis tools (Walking Weights), we stress less known extensions of the methodolog...

Measuring quality of object oriented (OO) software is challenging mainly because we are facing a number of more or less dependent parameters that characterize the properties of good OO design. This paper proposes a combination of AHP and PROMETHEE for measuring object oriented software design. We have compared AHP and PROMETHEE performance for such purpose in the ISAHP 2011. The result suggeste...

Outsourcing has become a common strategy in the information system/information technology (IS/IT) field in recent years. Many organizations attempt to enhance their competitiveness, reduce costs, increase their focus on internal resources and core activities, and sustain competitive advantage by IS/ IT outsourcing. Selection of appropriate outsourcing partners is an extremely important goal for...

The purpose of this paper is to streamline the supply corn, one key ingredients in production bioethanol. Using a comprehensive sustainable framework criteria (including social, economic, and environmental dimensions), potential locations corn cultivation Iran are examined from multi-criteria decision analysis perspective. To end, we need find importance relevant evaluation ranking method rank ...

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques are gaining popularity in sustainable energy management. The techniques provide solutions to the problems involving conflicting and multiple objectives. Several methods based on weighted averages, priority setting, outranking, fuzzy principles and their combinations are employed for energy planning decisions. A review of more than 90 published pa...

In this paper we study the multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) methods PROMETHEE and GAIA. The PROMETHEE method provides the decision maker with a ranking. The GAIA method provides a two dimensional representation of the decision problem based on the flows computed by the PROMETHEE method. However, a limit of the GAIA method is the loss of information by its two-dimensional projection which may l...
