Prospect Theory provides a broad and solid frame of reference for modeling the decision making of rational agents. In the early 1990s, the structure of Prospect Theory was used to propose a method to aid a multicriteria decision based on the process of paired comparison. The research reported in this article has empirically assessed the adherence of the mathematical model of the original TODIM method, together ...
The decision making in construction of earth dams is made in an empirical way, taking into account previous projects and the experience of involved engineers. We present in this article a modeling process with the objective of giving support to decisions making in the construction of earth dams with homogeneous and zoned sections. The modeling process is based on a multicriteria model, using the ZAPROS III meth...
