TI  - Modeling prioritized multicriteria decision making.
PG  - 2396-404
AB  - We consider the problem of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) in the situation 
      in which there exists a prioritization of criteria. A good example of 
      prioritization among criteria occurs in the case of air travel, where concerns 
      about passenger safety have a higher priority then economic concerns. Tradeoffs 
      between saving on gasoline usage and jeopardizing passenger safety are 
      unacceptable. We show how this prioritization of criteria can be modeled by using 
      importance weights in which the weights associated with the lower priority 
      criteria are related to the satisfaction of the higher priority criteria. We 
      provide some models that allow for the formalization of these prioritized MCDM 
      problems using both the Bellman-Zadeh paradigm for MCDM and the ordered weighted 
      averaging (OWA) operator method.
