Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag werden Ansätze zur graphischen Darstellung von Elementen von Entscheidungsproblemen bei mehrfacher Zielsetzung vorgestellt. Dabei wird nach den Betrachtungsebenen des Problems zwischen der Darstellung von Entscheidungsvariablen, von Attributwerten sowie von ordinalen und kardinalen Präferenzaussagen unterschieden. Neben der Darstellung der einzelnen Ansätze wird auch auf den damit verbundenen Rechenaufwand sowie mögliche Interpretationsprobleme eingegangen.

Abstract

The paper surveys techniques for visualization in the context of multi-criteria decision problems. Techniques for representing decision variables, attribute values of alternatives, ordinal preference relations and cardinal evaluations are covered. Several techniques are presented for each area, taking into account problems of implementation in interactive systems and cognitive effects that might result from the use of different graphical representations.
