Course contents :

Decision-making aid: methods of multicriteria analysis

This course is an initiation with the decision-making aid seen under the multicriteria analysis standpoint. It begins with some examples and a short history entitled: "Of the aggregation of the votes to the Arrow's theorem". Then, two schools are presented in parallel: the French school with the methods of the type Condorcet (ELECTRE) and the American school with the methods of the type Borda (Composite Programming). Small simple examples make it possible to the student to seize the governing ideas of both methods and to compare them.

Standards : development, relevance, application and checking

Many lived examples illustrate the various concepts which are presented and make it possible to the student to seize subtleties of the environmental law since the development of a standard, until the control of its application.

Workshops :

Decision-making aid: methods of multicriteria analysis

Four to five students set up a group to which the professor proposes a real problem already dealt with. The students must simplify it by reducing the number of criteria and the number of actions. Then, they solve this new problem with the two methods seen with the course. Finally, each group presents its work at the other groups. The spokesman of the group is randomly drawn what implies that all the students must be able to present the work of their own group.
