A new methodology of accounting for uncertainty factors in multiple criteria decision making problems, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2004, nr 3

A new approach is proposed to select a predetermined number of ?reasonable" (the best in a certain sense) alternatives from the considerable (maybe a vast) set of initial alternatives according to an arbitrary number of optimization criteria and accounting for uncertainty factors. The approach is based on using a special intuitive methodology, developed to account for uncertainty factors when solving such multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. This methodology is based on performing multi-variant computations (MVC) and finding their ?stable-optimal" solutions, and it's realized as a multi-level hierarchical system of MVC series. It's possible to use this methodology for solving various real problems.
