This decision support program is an implementation of techniques based on the propagation of imprecise preference statements in hierarchical weighting. PAIRS and Preference Programming methods are both implemented in Winpre. The underlying methodology of the program is described in the references below.
Winpre runs in MS Windows (3.x, NT or '95) environment.
