Aiding Decisions With Multiple Criteria: Essays in Honor of Bernard
Roy is organized around two broad themes:
Graph Theory with path-breaking contributions on the theory of flows in
networks and project scheduling,
Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding with the invention of the family of
ELECTRE methods and methodological contribution to decision-aiding which
lead to the creation of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).
Professor Bernard Roy has had considerable influence on the development
of these two broad areas. £/LIST£ Part one contains papers by Jacques
Lesourne, and Dominique de Werra & Pierre Hansen related to the early
career of Bernard Roy when he developed many new techniques and concepts
in Graph Theory in order to cope with complex real-world problems. Part
two of the book is devoted to Philosophy and Epistemology of
Decision-Aiding with contributions from Valerie Belton & Jacques Pictet
and Jean-Luis Genard & Marc Pirlot. Part three includes contributions
based on Theory and Methodology of Multi-Criteria Decision-Aiding based
on a general framework for conjoint measurement that allows intrasitive
preferences. Denis Bouyssou & Marc Pirlot; Alexis Tsoukiàs, Patrice
Perny & Philippe Vincke; Luis Dias & João Clímaco; Daniel Vanderpooten;
Michael Doumpos & Constantin Zopounidis; and Marc Roubens offer a
considerable range of examinations of this aspect of MCDA. Part four is
devoted to Perference Modeling with contributions from Peter Fishburn;
Salvatore Greco, Benedetto Matarazzo & Roman Slowinski; Salem Benferhat,
Didier Dubois & Henri Prade; Oscar Franzese & Mark McCord; Bertrand
Munier; and Raymond Bisdorff. Part five groups Applications of
Multi-Criteria Decision-Aiding, and Carlos Henggeler Antunes, Carla
Oliveira & João Clímaco; Carlos Bana e Costa, Manuel da Costa-Lobo,
Isabel Ramos & Jean-Claude Vansnick; Yannis Siskos & Evangelos
Grigoroudis; Jean-Pierre Brans, Pierre Kunsch & Bertrand Mareschal offer
a wide variety of application problems. Finally, Part six includes
contributions on Multi-Objective Mathematical Programming from Jacques
Teghem, Walter Habenicht and Pekka Korhonen.
