This book introduces students on Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding and
Making courses to practical, real-world cases. Each case study
introduces a problem or situation together with a method, and a
description and explanation of a computer application. In this sense
each chapter is based on four pillars: the problem, the model building,
the methods and their implementation. The book presents and elaborates a
rich and comprehensive set of practical problems comprising multiple
criteria, including numerous approaches for their solution, for decision
support or decision aid. It complements traditional textbooks and
lecture material by employing case studies to promote a deeper
understanding of the investigated concepts and help students apply these
methods to other areas.
