Minitrack: Multi-criteria Decision Analysis and Support Systems 
January 3-6,2018
Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii, USA

Most decisions are based on multiple criteria, pursuing multiple, often conflicting objectives. The 
field of multi-criteria decision-making deals with theory and solution approaches directly involving 
multiple decision criteria. This mini-track solicits papers dealing with decision support for all types 
of multi-criteria decision problems. Case studies, papers focusing on specific types of decision 
settings, heuristic approaches applying information technology, 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. The common thread is the explicit consideration of multiple decision criteria.
Possible topics for this minitrack may include:

•	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
