Bipolar Preference Modeling and Aggregation in Decision Support

The paper discusses the use of positive and negative reasons when preferences about alternative options have to be considered. Besides explaining the intuitive and formal situations where such a bipolar reasoning is used, the paper shows how it is possible to generalise the concordance/discordance principle in preference aggregation and applie it to the problem of aggregating preferences expressed under intervals.
