Misinformation in social media is an actual and contested policy problem given its outreach and the variety of stakeholders involved. In particular, increased social media use makes the spread of misinformatio...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Many countries seemed to a large extent to have been unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic and national governments often acted uncoordinated resulting in many inconsistencies in the mitigation processes. The a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
There exist a variety of methods for extracting weights and values in multi-criteria decisions based on different rankings. However, it is difficult to determine which the useful ones are and how they correspo...
Chapter
New information and communication technologies (ICT) have made the public sphere more diverse and fragmented, and consequently it demands a new kind of literacy to navigate. However, the inter-contextual under...

Urban planning typically involves multiple actors and stakeholders with conflicting opinions and diverging preferences. The proposed development plans and actions greatly affect the quality of life of the loca...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Real-life decision situations almost invariably involve large uncertainties. In particular, there are several difficulties connected with the elicitation of probabilities, utilities, and criteria weights. In t...

In an ever-increasing competitive business environment, it has become increasingly important to be able to obtain efficient and sustainable business operations not only by efficient core procedures but also by...
Article
A vast number of methods for solving multi-criteria decision problems have been suggested for assessing criteria weights requiring more exact input data than users normally are able to provide. In particular, ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Weight elicitation methods in multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) are often cognitively demanding, require too much precision and too much time and effort. Some of the issues may be remedied by connecting ...
Article
Multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) methods have been around for quite some time. However, the elicitation of preference information in MCDA processes, and in particular the lack of practical means supporting i...
