Automatic Building Questionaires Software For Superdecisions Models

Abstract

When elaborating models in ANP, there are two key activities in the process: identify the relationships and weight the relationships to obtain the unweighted and weighted supermatrixes. Habitually this information is avalaible from experts, to those that it is necessary to ask. So, is very interesting build appropriates questionnaires to extract the information that they posses. These questionnaires should be on printed paper for several reasons: the expert doesn't have time to respond in a work session and it should be facilitated so that he gives it to us once answered, to have a font of tracing the data, etc. In big network models, once identified the correct form of asking, elaborate the questionnaires manually is a heavy and arduous task that doesn't contribute value to the decisionmaking process. In this article we show up an application that reads the files of the software Superdecisions, and it elaborates automatically the questionnaires to define the relationships and the questionnaires to prioritize the existing relationships.
