This work provides a foundation to make heterogeneous alternatives for mobility (transportation modes) compara-ble in the context of sustainability and providing possi-bilities to also compare them in other contexts such as costs or flexibility. The key to a successful comparison of such transportation...

This work aims to develop an Empirical Analysis of Des-tination Competitiveness of three main cities of Sinaloa, Mexico with a well-known Crouch-Ritchie model. This problem is approached as a multicriteria ranking problem with an outranking method and a multicriteria group deci-sion support system to...

In this paper we face the multicriteria sorting problem considering that we have incomplete information. Multicriteria sorting is a particular case of classification problems. It consists in the assignment of some actions to some pre-defined classes. Classification refers to prob-lems where the classes...

One of the most important management issues lies in determining the best portfolio of a given set of investment proposals. This decision involves the pursuit of multiple criteria, and has been commonly addressed by implementing a two-phase procedure whose first step identifies the efficient solution...

Nowadays, most approaches in the evolutionary multiobjective optimization literature concentrate mainly on adapting an evolutionary algorithm to generate an ap-proximation of the Pareto frontier. However, this does not solve the problem. We present a new idea to incorporate into a MOEA the Decision Maker...

The framework of multiobjective optimization is used to tackle the multicriteria ranking problem. The conceptual advantages of the multiobjective formulation are discussed and a new multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is introduced with the purpose of transforming a known valued outranking relation...

In this paper, we consider a model of partially mixed duopoly with conjectured variations equilibrium (CVE). The agents’ conjectures concern the price variations depending upon their production output’s increase or decrease. We establish existence and uniqueness results for the conjectured variations...

In this paper, a model of partially mixed oligopoly with conjectured variations equilibrium (CVE) is studied. The agents make conjectures concerning the price variations depending upon their production output’s fluctuations. Existence and uniqueness results for the conjectured variations equilibrium...

In decision-making situations, it is common to have a set of alternatives and to choose the best among them or to estab-lish a ranking. Multi-criteria decision methods can be ap-plied to obtain different rankings, even though the set of al-ternatives and criteria are the same. Considering this, the idea...

ECG sequences databases lack of a formal way to model analysis and query operations. In the pursuit of such a formal model, the definition of relevant primitive operators is necessary. We identify the convolution operator of sequences as one of those primitive operators. We take two QRS detection algorithms...

Selecting project portfolios Decision-Maker usually starts with limited information about projects and portfo-lios. One of the challenges involved in analyzing, search-ing and selecting the best portfolio is having a method to evaluate the impact of every project and portfolio in order to compare them....

In general, the problem of R&D project portfolio selec-tion (RDPPS) is to choose a set of project proposals that optimize certain impact measures designated by the deci-sion maker. In this paper we present a MILP model, that incorporates the most relevant aspects of the problem found in the literature,...

This paper presents a Web-based Multicriteria Group De-cision Support System for solving multicriteria ranking problems: how to rank a set of alternatives - having eval-uations in terms of several criteria - in decreasing order of preference by a collaborative group of decision makers in sequential or...

This work analyses decision making situations, where the quantity of the value function associated with the alternatives is a random number with known distribution. The main contribution of the paper is that alternatives are grouped into pseudo indifference classes, where the alternatives are indifferent...
