Mini-track: Multi-criteria Decision Support

Most decisions are based on multiple criteria, pursuing multiple, often conflicting objectives. The field of multi-criteria decision-making deals with problem theory and solution approaches that specifically address these multiple decision criteria. This mini-track solicits papers focused on decision support for all types of multi-criteria decision problems. 
Case studies, papers examining specific types of decision problems or applications, heuristic approaches applying information technology, the design of methods for automating parts of the decision making process, as well as papers focusing on the concepts and larger issues involved in providing information systems support to such decision problems are welcomed. 

Possible topics for this minitrack may include, but are not limited to:
* Success factors for MCDSS
* The role of the decision-maker in effective multi-criteria decision support
* Case studies of multi-criteria decision support
* Design of technology for specific aspects or phases of multi-criteria decision support
* Decision support for project selection
* Decision support for specific applications domains (e.g. health care)
* Classifications of decision problems and solution technology
* Tools and techniques for multi-criteria portfolio selection
* Solution approaches to special types of decision problems involving conflicting objectives
* Quality and types of data in multi-criteria decision support
