Abstract
The last chapter of a book usually contains the loose ends, the odd bits and pieces that have been left out of consideration in the previous chapters. So far, we have written so much about past experiences that it is time now to turn to the future of MCDA. What are its prospects, from the author’s viewpoint, and what can be said about the desirable properties of the MCDA tools for decision support?
