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 (in the form of the objective tradeoff curves) for three to seven criteria.

Preferred decisions are selected by using
FEASIBLE GOALS METHOD and REASONABLE GOALS METHOD.
