Computer-Assisted Approaches To Multiattribute Decision Making

Abstract

This article evaluates three general types of computer-assisted approaches to multicriteria decision problems in which the decision criteria are attributes as opposed to objectives. Several programs specifically designed for multiattribute problems are discussed, as well as spreadsheet and decision-tree software. The analysis centers on both the methodolog ical merits of the various approaches, as well as the concerns peculiar to the computer application.
