The PROMETHEE-GAIA multicriteria decision aid methodology has been developed by Professor Jean-Pierre Brans and myself at the ULB and VUB universities of Brussels since 1982.

 

For an introduction to the basic principles of PROMETHEE and GAIA or for more resources related to the methodology, please consult the PROMETHEE-GAIA.net web site.
