Abstract
Graphical User Interfaces (GUI’s) are rapidly becoming a standard feature in modern software design. Modern graphical interfaces provide immediate access to all functions available in the software system involved in an intuitive, easy to use form. In this paper, we report on the current development of a graphical user interface, which can be used as a front end to multi-criteria decision methods. We first give (in section 2) an introduction to the theoretical concepts underlying that interface. Section 3 discusses several technical aspects of implementation and section 4 describes the current status of a software prototype. Section 5 provides an outlook to possible future developments.
