“…Once the set of Pareto optima is generated, the "best" solution that achieves the best compromise between all competing objectives is sought. Such a solution is referred to as "satisficing" solution in the multi-objective optimization literature (Koski 1984;Yu 1985;Lounis & Cohn 1993, Frangopol et al 19932005 ).…”

“…In goal setting and compromise programming, the concept of "satisficing" solution is introduced as a solution to a multiobjective optimization problem where decision-makers identify a set S of satisficing solutions such that, whenever the decision of an outcome is an element of S, the decision-maker will be satisfied and is assumed to have reached the optimal solution (Yu 1985). According to Simon (1955), decision-makers do not seek the best possible solutions to problems but operate within what he referred to as "bounded rationality".…”

“…When each objective f i , i=1,...,n, is characterized by "less is better", one can set x*= (x 1 *,.....,x n *), where x i *=inf{f i (x) x ∈ X}. In this case, x* is called an ideal (or utopia) point because it is not attainable (Yu 1985). This ideal solution is defined as the solution that yields minimum (or maximum) values for all criteria.…”

“…Cohn (1993, 1995) proposed a multi-objective optimality or criticality index, "MCI", as a criterion for ranking competing alternatives and determining the "compromise solution". The criterion used in compromise programming is the minimization of the deviation from the ideal solution f* measured by the family of L p metrics (Yu 1985;Cohn 1993, 1995). In this paper, the multi-objective criticality index, "MCI", is defined as the value of the weighted and normalized deviation from the ideal solution f* measured by the family of L p metrics:…”

The aging an deterioration of highway bridges and the new requirements for sustainable infrastructures and communities require innovative approaches for their management that can achieve an adequate balance between social, economic and environmental sustainability. This paper presents a multi-objective decision-making approach for the sustainable design and management of highway bridge decks, which can considers several and conflicting objectives, such as the minimization of owner's costs, users costs, and environmental impacts and uses goal setting and compromise programming to determine the satisficing and compromise solutions that yield the best trade-off between all competing objectives. The proposed approach is based on robust reliability-based mechanistic models of the deterioration and service life of reinforced concrete bridge decks, which include diffusion models for the prediction of chloride ingress into concrete and steel corrosion and thick-walled cylinder models for the prediction of stresses induced by the accumulating corrosion products in the concrete cover. The proposed approach is illustrated on the life cycle design and management of highway bridge decks using normal and high performance concrete. It is shown that the high performance concrete deck alternative is a Pareto optimum , while the normal concrete deck is found to be a dominated solution in terms in terms of life cycle costs and environmental impacts.

One of the fascinating things about multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is the degree to which the contributions that have built the field have come from all over the world. In this paper the international nature of the authorships of the 1216 refereed journal articles published on MCDM between 1987 and 1992, and the journals in which they have appeared, is examined. Also, an analysis of the 217 books and 31 journal special issues that have been published on MCDM, and 143 conferences that have been held on MCDM since the inception of the field, is similarly conducted. The paper concludes with a conference organizer, author and special issue guest editor index.
