The Multi-Criteria Approach Assessment Human Risks: Application the Analytical Hierarchy Process and PROMETHEE Methods

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Multi-Criteria Approach for Decision Support

Abstract

Current security systems are more and more complex, as they integrate a variety of technologies, these systems often require a long period of development. When we change the requirements, the goals are to improve the functionality, cost, or delay of the systems; but unfortunately, this change may be affected by an issue with other system security requirements.

This chapter helps to improve safety with the evaluation of human risk by applying a multi-criteria approach to help decision-making by analytical hierarchy process methods and the PROMETHE method.
