One of the most important tasks faced by decision-makers in business and government is that of selection. Selection problems are challenging in that they require the balancing of multiple, often conflicting, criteria.
In recent years, a number of interesting decision aids have become available to assist in such decisions. <BR>The aim of this book is to provide a comparative survey of many of the decision aids currently available. The
first chapters present general ideas which underpin the methodologies used to design these aids. Subsequent chapters then focus on specific decision aids and demonstrate some of the software which implement these ideas. A
final chapter provides a comparative analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.
