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.

Suboptimal covering of multidimensional unit sphere (three to ten dimensions)

Please find a short description and the downloadable covering base

Software PARETO FRONT VIEWER for visualization of pointwise approximations of the Pareto frontier.

The approximation method plays no role. Demonstration version of the soft (up to 5 objectives and 1000 points) as well as its manual can be requested for free from Prof. A.Lotov.
