MCView: An integrated graphical system to support multi-attribute decisions

摘要

The paper presents a DSS for multi-attribute decision problems called MCView. The system combines a process-oriented view of multi-attribute decision making with a comprehensive, graphical user interface. The decision process supported by MCView is based on a two-level representation of evolving preferences, which allows the user to interactively introduce preference information both in the form of holistic choices between alternatives and by directly changing the parameters of a cardinal evaluation method. The graphical user interface of MCView provides comprehensive information about and direct manipulation of all problem components and thus directly supports this learning process.
