J. CIimaco and C. H. Antunes After the excitement which has been to host the group of researchers and practitioners within the zone of multicriteria research (MA) in Coimbra in August 1994, this quantity of lawsuits in line with the papers awarded on the convention is the final step of that enterprise. even if this won't be the best position we won't withstand, in spite of the fact that, the temptation to precise herein a few short emotions concerning the convention. virtually every thing about the convention company has been "handcrafted" by way of a small variety of humans, with the benefits and drawbacks that this method generates. Our first observe of acknowledgement is naturally because of those that have had an enduring and energetic function within the a number of elements which make the good fortune of a convention: Maria Joao Alves, Carlos Henggeler Antunes (who is a co writer of this advent on the grounds that he has heavily collaborated with me within the medical programme), Joao Paulo Costa, Luis Dias (who tremendously contributed to the business enterprise of this quantity) and Paulo Melo, in addition to Leonor Dias, from the school of Economics, who has proven an exceptional commitment. to those that collaborated with the organisers within the framework in their expert job, distinctive thank you as a result of Adelina whose commitment significantly handed her tasks. As you most likely comprehend out of your personal event each small aspect of the convention enterprise required loads of "sweating", however the surroundings of pleasure and friendship then generated has been a beneficiant "pay-off".

Overseas Federation for info ProcessingThe IFIP sequence publishes state of the art ends up in the sciences and applied sciences of knowledge and verbal exchange. The scope of the sequence comprises: foundations of desktop technological know-how; software program concept and perform; schooling; laptop purposes in expertise; verbal exchange structures; structures modeling and optimization; info structures; pcs and society; desktops expertise; defense and security in details processing platforms; man made intelligence; and human-computer interplay.
Nuclear physics is almost immediately experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in trying out past ultra-modern stan dard types of particle physics. the hunt for finite neutrino plenty and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote a few of the efforts to check modern theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

3 The example again Let us now see what happens if we apply the previously developed theory to the preference aggregation problem presented in section 1. We shall make for the moment a basic assumption: the preferences expressed by each examinator are modelled by the conventional preference structure < P, I, R >. -,s(x, y) ¢:} 1pjl(x, y) 12': (3. Table 4 gives the results for all ordered couples in A x A on the basis of the definitions of the PC preference structure. Let us dicuss the result. We recall here that the result of the direct aggregation of the five partial orders in section 1 was: P = {(e,d)}, 1= {(a,e)}, R =A x A \ (PU 1) 48 Using the PC preference structure we have instead: P = K = L = 0, Q = {(a, b), (a, R = {(e, e), (b, V = {(b, I = {(a, J = {(a, H = {(e, dn, en, dn, en, a b e d e a I Q-I Q-I J I b Q I U V R e Q U I H- I R en, U dn d J V-I H I U {(e, b), (d, en, e I R R U I Table 4: The PC preference structure applied to set A We note that only two couples ((b, e) and (e, e)) are effectively incomparable because of symmetric conflicting reasons (two examinators for part).
Under this perspective, all the possible situations are reviewed and formalized, using the DDT language, in a new preference structure named PC. p .. An example of aggregation of partial orders is introduced in the paper in order to present the limits of the conventional approach and the eventual advantages of the new one. Some future research directions conclude the paper. 50 References l. E. Bell, H.
