Abstract

FITradeoff method uses a flexible and interactive approach for supporting decisions in multicriteria problems in the context of MAVT (Multi-Attribute Value Theory) with partial information. Since the very beginning of the preference elicitation process, a subset of potential optimal alternatives (POA) is selected based on the current partial information provided. Then, the Decision Maker (DM) has the flexibility of interrupting the elicitation process for analyzing the partial result by other means, such as graphical visualization of performance of POA. This flexibility is available in the whole process. Evaluating the visualization confidence for decision support in FITradeoff method is crucial. Furthermore, information for designing of this visualization is relevant. This paper shows how these issues could be approached based on cognitive neuroscience, with particular focus given on eye tracking resources.
