Invitation to the virtual workshop (Duration: 3h)Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis Methods Selection Software (MCDA-MSS)1 June 2021, 8-11am EDT, 2-5pm CEST Dear INFORMS Members,We would like to invite you to a virtual workshop introducing the software we developed to recommend Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods.Here below there is some background on the software and the workshop, while here you can find the detailed description of the event.
Knowledge gap
Over the last few decades, the number of Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods has grown steadily (hundreds are available nowadays), and a main issue that decision analysts have to deal with is summarized by the following question:"Which is the most suitable MCDA method (or subset of methods) that should be used for a given decision-making problem?".
The solution: MCDA-MSS
We have developed the first MCDA-Methods Selection Software (MCDA-MSS) that allows decision analysts to find the most relevant MCDA methods (among > 200 of them) for their decision-making problems. MCDA-MSS has two aims:
- Allow analysts to learn our sequential and dynamic framework to describe complex decision-making;
- Guide an analyst assisting a Decision Maker (DM) in choosing the most appropriate MCDA method(s) for a given decision-making problem
Format of the workshop
The workshop will be held virtually, and it will include four sessions. Session 1 will provide an overview of MCDA-MSS and its sections, while the remaining three sessions will be interactive with MCDA-MSS training and hands-on use of the software.
Interested to attend the workshop?
You can sign up here and choose between attending:
- Session 1 only (presentation of MCDA-MSS): no limit to the number of attendees
- Sessions 1-4 (the whole workshop): this option is limited to ~20 people (first-come, first-served) to guarantee a manageable and constructive experience for all the attendees. So, sign up early!
