This study proposes a two-stage methodology for a collection of portfolios construction. In the first stage, alternatives are scored using an active-learning UTA preference-learning method focused on the most promising alternatives. In the second stage, the alternatives are assigned to portfolios through a bi-objective optimization model that maximizes alternative scores while minimizing...

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has long emphasized the importance of modeling interactions among criteria to improve the evaluation and ranking of alternatives. Fuzzy measures and the Choquet integral provide a powerful non-additive framework for capturing synergistic and redundant relationships among criteria and have been widely applied in decision analysis. However, the effectiveness...

Review and recommendation platforms play a central role in decision-aiding processes by supporting users in the evaluation of services, products, or places. As social platforms based on user-generated content, they typically aggregate individual opinions to rank alternatives. However, conventional rating systems often fail to capture the complexity of users' subjective evaluations, since...

In multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA), three traditional problem settings are typically distinguished: choice, ranking, and sorting. More recently, attention has turned to the multicriteria clustering problem, in which alternatives are assigned to groups in an unsupervised manner, meaning that categories are not predefined, unlike in sorting approaches. The objective of these methods is to...

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods require stakeholder preference elicitation, but standard approaches like Swing weight elicitation can be time-consuming and cognitively demanding for practical applications.

Many real-world problems involve multiple conflicting objectives and require trade-offs among individuals with diverse and often competing priorities. In such settings, decisions emerge through negotiation processes in which interaction, persuasion, and social influence shape how alternatives are evaluated and ultimately resolved. These processes are influenced by cognitive biases, individual...

The European Commission's Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework formally distinguishes a (re)design phase from assessment.

Many important decisions face a basic dilemma: act now, while the facts are still uncertain, or wait for better information at the cost of delay. Standard Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) does not address this dilemma directly, since it treats the performance of each option as a fixed number evaluated at one moment in time, and says nothing about when that moment should be.
