摘要

作者于1963年至2007年在布鲁塞尔大学和布鲁塞尔大学担任运筹学教授。2014年1月22日，他的前合作者(Cathy Macharis, Yves De Smet和Bertrand Mareschal)组织了一个关于“PROMETHEE”多标准决策辅助(MCDA)程序的研讨会，作者在20世纪80年代是该方法的发起者。超过60名与会者出席了研讨会，并发表了25篇研究论文。由于这一直是他的科学载体中的一个重要研究领域，作者已被研讨会的组织者邀请就这一主题发表一篇调查论文。他对这一倡议感到特别荣幸，并愉快地接受了邀请。本文包括从1937年至今的OR的简要概述，排名程序在MCDA和PROMETHEE方法论领域的作用，当然也强调了它的扩展。并对今后的研究和发展提出了建议。“让-皮埃尔·布兰斯-普罗米修斯奖”将颁发给在研讨会上做出最佳贡献的人，并将在不久的将来建立一个基金会来支持每年的此类活动。

The 'PROMETHEE' adventure

The author has been Professor Operational Research (OR) from 1963 to 2007 at both the VUB and the ULB Universities of Brussels. On January 22, 2014, his former collaborators (Cathy Macharis, Yves De Smet and Bertrand Mareschal) organised a workshop on the 'PROMETHEE' multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) procedure, the author having been the initiator of this methodology in the 1980s. Over 60 participants attended this workshop and 25 research papers were presented. As it has been an important research field in his scientific carrier, the author has been invited by the organisers of the workshop to give a survey paper on this subject. He felt particularly honoured by this initiative and accepted with pleasure the invitation. This paper includes a brief overview of OR from 1937 till now, the role of the outranking procedures in the field of MCDA and the PROMETHEE methodology including its extensions being of course stressed. Some proposals for further research and developments are suggested. A 'Jean-Pierre Brans-PROMETHEE prize' has been awarded to the best contribution presented at the workshop, and a foundation to support such an activity each year will be established in a near future.

期刊介绍： IJMCDM is a scholarly journal that publishes high quality research contributing to the theory and practice of decision making in ill-structured problems involving multiple criteria, goals and objectives. The journal publishes papers concerning all aspects of multicriteria decision making (MCDM), including theoretical studies, empirical investigations, comparisons and real-world applications. Papers exploring the connections with other disciplines in operations research and management science are particularly welcome. Topics covered include: -Artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, soft computing in MCDM -Conjoint/performance measurement -Decision making under uncertainty -Disaggregation analysis, preference learning/elicitation -Group decision making, multicriteria games -Multi-attribute utility/value theory -Multi-criteria decision support systems and knowledge-based systems -Multi-objective mathematical programming -Outranking relations theory -Preference modelling -Problem structuring with multiple criteria -Risk analysis/modelling, sensitivity/robustness analysis -Social choice models -Theoretical foundations of MCDM, rough set theory -Innovative applied research in relevant fields
