MCDM 2009 - the 20th International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision making

Call for Abstract of Conference Papers:

As part of tradition at MCDM Conferences, contributors to the main conference sessions at MCDM 2009 should submit abstracts. The author's names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mails must be listed starting with the presenting author. Electronic submission (in MS Word or LaTex format) through e-mail is strongly preferred. Abstracts will be reviewed to determine whether acceptance for presentation is appropriate. A common style is important, since Conference Proceedings of abstracts will be published. A hard copy of the abstracts will be distributed with the Conference Program.
After the conference, contributors are encouraged to submit a full-length paper to either a post conference proceeding that will be published in 2010 by Springer's the Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems or several special issues of academic journals in the specified format. Such papers will be peer-reviewed for their qualification of publication.

Papers from all areas of MCDM, in particular those addressing the conference theme, are welcome to the main conference sessions. The topics include, but are not limited to:
