GROUP DEVELOPS

theory, methods, algorithms and software for visualization of Pareto frontier in decision problems with multiple decision criteria (multiobjective problems).
The visualization methods can be used on computer networks.
Applications include decision and negotiation support tools as well as tools for visualization of relational databases.

INTERACTIVE DECISION MAPS technique
displays the Pareto frontier (objective tradeoffs) on-line for three to seven criteria.

Preferred decisions are selected by using
the FEASIBLE GOALS METHOD and the REASONABLE GOALS METHOD,
which are visual forms of the goal approach.

PARETO FRONT VIEWER for visualization of pointwise approximations of the Pareto frontier; it can be requested for free

The approximation method plays no role. Its demonstration version (up to 5 objectives and 1000 points) as well as its manual can be requested from Prof. A.Lotov.
