Abstract:
The paper presents a multicriteria decision support system, called MultiOptima. It consists of two independent parts - the MKA-2 system and the MKO-2 system. The MultiOptima system is designed to support the decision maker in modelling and solving different problems of multicriteria analysis and linear and linear integer problems of multicriteria optimization. The system implements four methods for multicriteria analysis, as well as an innovative generalized interactive method for multicriteria optimization with variable scalarization and parameterization, which can apply twelve scalarizing problems and is applicable for different ways of defining preferences by the decision maker. The class of the solved problems, the system structure, the implemented methods and the graphical user interface of the MKA-2 and MKO-2 systems are discussed in the paper. The MultiOptima system can be used both for education and for solving of real-life problems.
