The author first presents the characteristics of multicriteria decision problems and the various methods that have been proposed to solve them, in particular the PROMETHEE methods. He then defines a class of additive multicriteria methods and studies the problem of weighting multiple criteria. Finally, he presents two applications: in finance (BANK ADVISER, a system for industrial evaluation) and in statistics (CHRONOS, an expert system for prevision aid).
