Abstract
This introductory chapter explains, first, the strategy guiding the editing of the MCDA application case studies. The second section illustrates the overall organization of the handbook into three parts: a concise methodological introduction to the concepts of decision aiding, preference modelling and recommendation building; the main part with 15 case studies of MCDA applications; and a short third part devoted to support tools for the MCDA process. The chapter ends with listing some highlights of the book content.
