A Multi-Objective Model for Thesis Defence Scheduling
João Almeida, Daniel Rebelo dos Santos, José Rui Figueira
We address the thesis defence scheduling problem, a critical academic scheduling management process, which has been overshadowed in the literature by its counterparts, course timet…
Exact and approximate determination of the Pareto set using minimal correction subsets
Andreia P. Guerreiro, João Cortes, Daniel Vanderpooten +4
Recently, it has been shown that the enumeration of Minimal Correction Subsets (MCS) of Boolean formulas allows solving Multi-Objective Boolean Optimization (MOBO) formulations. Ho…
New -constraint methods for multi-objective integer linear programming: a Pareto front representation approach
Mariana Mesquita-Cunha, José Rui Figueira, Ana Paula Barbosa-Póvoa
Dealing with multi-objective problems by using generation methods has some interesting advantages since it provides the decision-maker with the complete information about the set o…
A multiple criteria approach for constructing a pandemic impact assessment composite indicator: The case of Covid-19 in Portugal
José Rui Figueira, Henrique M. Oliveira, Ana Paula Serro +5
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused impressive damages and disruptions in social, economic, and health systems (among others), and posed unprecedented challenges to public health and…
a theoretical look at ordinal classification methods based on comparing actions with limiting boundaries between adjacent classes
Eduardo Fernandez, Jose Rui Figueira, Jorge Navarro
This paper addresses the general problem of designing ordinal classification methods based on comparing actions with limiting boundaries of ordered classes (categories). The fundam…
A multiple criteria approach for ship risk classification: An alternative to the Paris MoU Ship Risk Profile
Duarte Caldeira Dinis, José Rui Figueira, Ângelo Palos Teixeira
The Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MoU) is responsible for controlling substandard shipping in European waters and, consequently, increasing the sta…
Data Envelopment Analysis models with imperfect knowledge of input and output values: An application to Portuguese public hospitals
Diogo Cunha Ferreira, Josè RUi Figueira, Salvatore Greco +1
Assessing the technical efficiency of a set of observations requires that the associated data composed of inputs and outputs are perfectly known. If this is not the case, then bias…
Sparsifying Parity-Check Matrices
Luís M. S. Russo, Tobias Dietz, José Rui Figueira +2
Parity check matrices (PCMs) are used to define linear error correcting codes and ensure reliable information transmission over noisy channels. The set of codewords of such a code…
The {0,1}-knapsack problem with qualitative levels
Luca E. Schäfer, Tobias Dietz, Maria Barbati +3
A variant of the classical knapsack problem is considered in which each item is associated with an integer weight and a qualitative level. We define a dominance relation over the f…
Electre-Score: A first outranking based method for scoring actions
José Rui Figueira, Salvatore Greco, Bernard Roy
In this paper we present (to the best of our knowledge) the first outranking method to assign a score to each alternative. It is a method of the Electre family, and we will call it…
A multiple criteria nominal classification method in a web-based platform: Demonstration in a case of recruitment for the Portuguese Army
Ana Sara Costa, José Rui Figueira, José Borbinha
CAT-SD (CATegorization by Similarity-Dissimilarity) is a recently developed method for handling nominal classification problems in the context of Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding…
A new scaling MCDA procedure putting together pairwise comparison tables and the deck of cards method
Salvatore Corrente, José Rui Figueira, Salvatore Greco
This paper deals with an improved version of the deck of the cards method to render the construction of the ratio and interval scales more `accurate'. The improvement comes from th…
Using a Segmenting Description approach in Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding
Milosz Kadzinski, Jan Badura, Jose Rui Figueira
We propose a new method for analyzing a set of parameters in a multiple criteria ranking method. Unlike the existing techniques, we do not use any optimization technique, instead i…
A multiple criteria methodology for priority based portfolio selection
Maria Barbati, Josè Rui Figueira, Salvatore Greco +2
This paper presents a new methodology that combines a multiple criteria sorting or ranking method with a project portfolio selection procedure. The multicriteria method permits to…
A robust hierarchical nominal classification method based on similarity and dissimilarity using loss function and an improved version of the deck of cards method
Ana Sara Costa, Salvatore Corrente, Salvatore Greco +2
Cat-SD is a multiple criteria decision aiding method for dealing with nominal classification problems. Actions are assessed according to multiple criteria and assigned to one or mo…
Shortest Paths with Ordinal Weights
Luca E. Schäfer, Tobias Dietz, Nicolas Fröhlich +2
We investigate the single-source-single-destination "shortest" paths problem in acyclic graphs with ordinal weighted arc costs. We define the concepts of ordinal dominance and effi…
Secure Multi-Cloud Virtual Network Embedding
Max Alaluna, Luís Ferrolho, José Rui Figueira +2
Modern network virtualization platforms enable users to specify custom topologies and arbitrary addressing schemes for their virtual networks. These platforms have, however, been t…
The SMAA-PROMETHEE methods
Salvatore Corrente, Josè Rui Figueira, Salvatore Greco
PROMETHEE methods are widely used in Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) to deal with real decision making problems. A crucial aspect of the classical PROMETHEE methods is the…
Dealing with Interaction Between Bipolar Multiple Criteria Preferences in PROMETHEE Methods
Salvatore Corrente, Josè Rui Figueira, Salvatore Greco
In this paper, we consider the bipolar approach to Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). In particular we aggregate positive and negative preferences by means of the bipolar…
