Abstract
A comparative evaluation of decision-aiding approaches requires that alternative approaches first be identified and differentiated. Characterizing and distinguishing among approaches, however, is not an easy task. There are two main sources of difficulty. One is the sheer quantity of available options; the number of possible approaches is essentially infinite, given the many different ways in which analytic procedures can be combined. The second difficulty is the lack of consensus about terminology and requirements.
