published proceedings is not allowed.


PROCEEDINGS:
Accepted papers will be published in the online proceedings of the
conference in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to submit a contribution to the International Workshop on Multicriteria Decision Making & Applications in Enterprise Information Systems to be held in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 within CENTERIS conference http://centeris.eiswatch.org/
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVEThe aim of the Multicriteria Decision Making & Applications in Enterprise Information Systems 2015 (MCDM&EIS) session is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss models for decision making with multiple usually conflicting criteria to be considered simultaneously, and their real-life applications.
In MCDA&EIS 2015, we encourage the submission of papers on decision making from both multiobjective optimization and multicriteria decision analysis areas. Novel applications of these methods to real world problems are welcome.
WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) MCDM Theory Game Theory Decision Support Systems Multiobjective Optimization Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis/Aiding Group Decision Making and Negotiations Evolutionary Algorithms and MCDM Multiattribute Utility or Value Theory Behavioral Issues in Decision Making Preference Modelling Risk and Uncertainty/Prospect Theory Applications of MCDM and Optimization in Enterprise Information Systems
