Abstract
In this paper we propose an experiment with some approaches for solving multiple criteria decision making problems, using computer simulation. An assumed “true” utility function is used to provide simulated “decision-maker” responses needed by the algorithms. The performance of the algorithms is then discussed.
The authors wish to thank Professor Brian Ratchford for his comments and suggestions.
