General description and relevant information |
The student will be introduced to the research area of Multicriteria Decision Aid (MCDA).
The course covers three main issues:
(1) Preference structures for representing the interests of the decision maker. Special attention will be paid to the use of non-numerical information, such as linguistic variables, fuzzy sets or ontologies.
(2) Exploitation techniques of the user information to solve the decision problem. The two main approaches to MCDA will be studied: Multiattribute Utility Theory and Outranking Relations. At the end of the course, the student will have to know the theory, properties, advantages and drawbacks of those methods.
(3) Use of MCDA techniques in combination with other fields (f.i. Geographical Information Systems, Recommender Systems).In this subject you only have the right to make the exam, because the degree
you are studying is going to be extinguished. You have to take a look the timetable of the subject to know the
exam's date. If you need an extraordinary exam session, you have to enrol for this, presenting an
application to the secretariat of your campus or faculty. |
