Decision Maps for Distributed Scenario-Based Multi-Criteria Decision Support

This thesis presents the Decision Map approach to support decision-makers facing complex uncertain problems that defy standardised solutions. First, scenarios are generated in a distributed manner: the reasoning processes can be adapted to the problem at hand whilst respecting constraints in time and availability of experts. Second, by integrating scenarios and MCDA, this approach facilitates robust decision-making respecting multiple criteria in a transparent well-structured manner.
