A visual reference direction approach to solving discrete multiple criteria problems

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new visual interactive method for solving discrete multiple criteria problems. The method is based on the use of a reference direction, which is determined by the aspiration levels for the criteria specified by the decision maker. The reference direction is projected onto the set of efficient alternatives. A subset found in this way is presented to a decision maker in a visual form using computer graphics. He can choose any efficient alternatives he pleases. We need notmake any assumptions about the properties of the utility function. The method has been implemented on an IBM/PC1 microcomputer. The name of the program is Vimda (a Visual Interactive Method for Discrete Alternatives).
