Multiobjective Programming: Basic Concepts and Approaches

This paper aims at introducing, in a tutorial style, the basic concepts used in Multiple Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), with an emphasis on multiobjective programming (MOP). Rather than precisely discussing some of the techniques and methods used in MOP (many references are provided), we present and comment the basic approaches underlying these methods.
