A Multicriteria Decision Support System MultiDecision-1

* This paper is partially supported by the National Science Fund of Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science under contract № I–1401\2004 "Interactive Algorithms and Software Systems Supporting Multicriteria Decision Making."

The present paper describes some basic elements of the software system developed (called MultiDecision-1), which consists of two separate parts (the systems MKA-1 and MKO-1) and which is designed to support decision makers in solving different multicriteria analysis and multicriteria optimization problems. The class of the problems solved, the system structure, the operation with the interface modules for input data entry and the information about DM’s local preferences, as well as the operation with the interface modules for visualization of the current and final solutions for the two systems MKA-1 and MKO-1 are discussed.
