This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Group Decision and Negotiation, GDN 2019, held in Loughborough, UK, in June 2019. The field of Group Decision and Negotiation focuses on decision processes with at least two participants and a common goal but conflicting individual goals. Research areas of Group Decision and Negotiation include electronic negotiations, experiments, the role of emotions in group decision and negotiations, preference elicitation and decision support for group decisions and negotiations, and conflict resolution principles.The 17 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: preference modeling for group decision and negotiations; collaborative decision making processes; conflict resolution; behavioral OR, and negotiation support systems and studies.

This book deals with the choice of methods to be applied in the decision processes within organizations. The book is useful for a broad researcher audience dealing with the group decision making processes within business organizations and for practitioners and students working in the group decision and negotiation field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Meeting on Innovation for Systems Information and Decision meeting, INSID 2020, held in Recife, Brazil, in December 2020.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.The 8 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 84 submissions to the main conference.The selected papers reflect methodological improvements and advances in Multicriteria Decision-Making/Multicriteria Decision-Aid (MCDM/MCDA) oriented toward real-world applications and contribute to the understanding of relevant developments of current research on and future trends of Innovation for Systems Information and Decision.

This book considers a broad range of areas from decision making methods applied in the contexts of Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM). The book addresses an innovative treatment of decision making in RRM, improving the integration of fundamental concepts from both areas of RRM and decision making.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Meeting on Innovation for Systems Information and Decision, INSID 2021, which was held during December 1-3, 2021.

This book explores Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, focusing on decision-making with multiple objectives and partial preference information. It integrates theoretical contributions with practical applications in areas such as energy, health systems, security, sustainability, industrial contexts, supplier selection, and more. The book highlights the use of mathematical programming, particularly linear programming, for analyzing alternatives with incomplete information on criteria weights.A key feature of the book is its exploration of Decision Support Systems (DSS), including their evolution through behavioral experiments and neuroscience tools. It also covers Group Decision and Negotiation (GDN) with partial information, focusing on preference modeling in group settings.Targeted at both practitioners and researchers, this book offers innovative insights into MCDM with partial information, making it an essential resource for those looking to improve their decision models or expand their knowledge in the field.

This book integrates multiple criteria concepts and methods for problems within the Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM) context. The concepts and foundations related to RRM are considered for this integration with multicriteria approaches. In the book, a general framework for building decision models is presented and this is illustrated in various chapters by discussing many different decision models related to the RRM context. The scope of the book is related to ways of how to integrate Applied Probability and Decision Making. In Applied Probability, this mainly includes: decision analysis and reliability theory, amongst other topics closely related to risk analysis and maintenance. In Decision Making, it includes a broad range of topics in MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) and MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Aiding; also known as Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis). In addition to decision analysis, some of the topics related to Mathematical Programming area are briefly considered, such as multiobjective optimization, since methods related to these topics have been applied to the context of RRM.The book addresses an innovative treatment for the decision making in RRM, thereby improving the integration of fundamental concepts from the areas of both RRM and decision making. This is accomplished by presenting an overview of the literature on decision making in RRM. Some pitfalls of decision models when applying them to RRM in practice are discussed and guidance on overcoming these drawbacks is offered. The procedure enables multicriteria models to be built for the RRM context, including guidance on choosing an appropriate multicriteria method for a particular problem faced in the RRM context. The book also includes many research advances in these topics. Most of the multicriteria decision models that are described are specific applications that have been influenced by this research and the advances in this field.Multicriteria and Multiobjective Models for Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis is implicitly structured in three parts, with 12 chapters. The first part deals with MCDM/A concepts methods and decision processes. The second part presents the main concepts and foundations of RRM. Finally the third part deals with specific decision problems in the RRM context approached with MCDM/A models.
