Introduction

The literature in the field of multicriteria decision aid proposes methodologies that are acknowledged and used in real world decision processes. These methodologies provide useful solutions to complex decision problems that arise in organisations. Several methods have been implemented through software, but these software were developed in an uncoordinated way.

The Decision Deck project aims at developing a generic decision aid platform composed of modular and interconnected software components. These software components implement the common functionnalities of a large range of multiple criteria decision aid methods; this makes it possible to easily integrate as plugin additional methods.

The Decision Deck project is hosted on SourceForge (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/decision-deck/).
