Local Utility Functions

Abstract This paper presents the application of an interactive multiple objective decision making (MODM) procedure to design synthesis. This procedure is composed of an interactive step trade-off method (ISTM) and the estimation of local utility functions. The ISTM method is used as a preference learning process to assist a designer (decision maker or DM) in generating a representative sub-set of efficient designs (solutions). In this learning process, the DM is expected to compare the generated solutions in a pairwise manner to express his preferences. A set of additive local utility functions are then estimated to help the DM search for his best compromise solution. A multiple objective design synthesis problem is examined using the procedure.
