Abstract
In complex decision problems in which a ranking of alternatives, i.e. projects, objects etc., has to be determined, in general several criteria have to be considered simultaneously. Often parts of the description are in addition uncertain. To aid decision makers in such situations numerous mathematical models and methods have been developed, of which some shall be described in the following. On the one hand, these models can be used in expert systems to model human decision making behavior properly. On the other hand, they may provide a benchmark for the quality of decisions in a normative sense.
