The application of multi-attribute utility theory whose aggregation process is based on the
Choquet integral requires the prior identification of a capacity. The main approaches to …

Set functions are mappings that assign to subsets of a universal set a real number and
appear in many fields of mathematics (pure and applied) and computer sciences …

The paper presents the author's partial and personal historical reconstruction of how
decision theory is evolving to a decision aiding methodology. The presentation shows …

The paper presents a focused survey about the presence and the use of the concept of

In the literature on MCDM, many methods have been proposed in order to sort alternatives
evaluated on several attributes into ordered categories. Most of them were proposed on an …

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 …

Multicriteria decision analysis studies decision problems in which the alternatives are
evaluated on several dimensions or viewpoints. In the problems we consider in this article …

This paper offers a brief and nontechnical introduction to the use of conjoint measurement in
multiple criteria decision making. The emphasis is on the, central, additive value function …

In several multicriteria decision making problems, it is important to consider interactions
among criteria in order to satisfy the preference relations provided by the decision maker …

The notion of concordance is central to many multiple criteria techniques relying on ordinal
information, eg outranking methods. It leads to compare alternatives by pairs on the basis of …
