Multi-attribute decision making analysis with evolutionary programming applied to Large Scale Vehicle II
… Instead, the information is presented to the decision-maker on a two-dimensional plot that represents the frontier of all non-dominated designs. Each axis represents one of the measures of effectiveness and each level of cost is plotted on a separate curve. This process allows the …

Holistic Building Technology Selection for Sustainability: A Market Analysis and Multi-Attribute Decision Making Approach for Residential Water Heaters in U.S.
… With such high stakes, it is recommended that a Decision Support Tool (DST) be used prior to selection of a water heater for new construction or replacement. Although there are numerous tools available, it is challenging to find a tool that takes into account all factors critical to the selection …
