Multi-Criteria Decision Making

AbstractWeb-HIPRE is a Java applet for multiple criteria decision analysis. Being located on the WWW, it can be accessed from everywhere in the world. This has opened up a completely new era and dimension in decision support. Web-HIPRE provides a common platform for individual and group decision making. The models can be processed at the same or at different times and the results can be easily shared and combined. There is a possibility to define links to other WWW addresses. These links can refer to any other kind of information such as graphics, sound or video describing the criteria or alternatives. This can improve the quality of decision support dramatically. The most common weighting methods including AHP, SMART, SWING, SMARTER and value functions are supported. Web-HIPRE is located on http://www.hipre.hut.fi/RésuméWeb-HIPRE est une applet Java pour l'analyse de décision multicritère. Située sur le web, elle est donc accessible de n'importe où sur la terre, ouvrant ainsi une ère et une dimension complètement nouvelles dans l'aide à la décision. Web-HIPRE offre une plateforme commune à la décision individuelle et de groupe, où les modèles peuvent être traités simultanément ou en différé. Les résultats peuvent être aisément partagés et combinés. La possibilité de définir des liens à d'autres sites internet est aussi offerte. Ceux-ci peuvent guider vers des types d'information de tous genres, tels que des graphiques, des sons ou des vidéos décrivant les critères ou les alternatives. La qualité d'aide à la décision peut ainsi drastiquement augmenter. Les methods de pondération les plus communes telles que l'AHP, SMART, SWING, SMARTER et les fonctions valeur sont supportées par Web-HIPRE (l'adresse du site est www.hipre.hut.fi).
