Mohammadi, Majid (author), Tamburri, Damian A. (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Priorities in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) convey the relevance preference of one criterion over another, which is usually reflected by imposing the non-negativity and unit-sum constraints. The processing of such priorities is different than other unconstrained data, but this point is often neglected by researchers, which results in...journal article 2023

Boshuijzen-van Burken, C.G. (author), Spruit, S. (author), Fillerup, Lotte (author), Mouter, N. (author)We use Value Sensitive Design for the development of an ethical framework for autonomous systems in Defence in the Australian context. Two novel empirical data gathering methods are deployed for mining stakeholder's values, namely Group Decision Room (GDR) and Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE). GDR findings reveal a general concern for...conference paper 2023

Dang, M.K. (author), Cunin, Maxime (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The joint deployment of energy reduction actions across multiple buildings at once is much needed to reach climate targets, but collective decision-making with shared ownership is a complex process. Each homeowner is accountable for their own energy use, while being constrained by their personal financial capacity and will to act with other co...conference paper 2023

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author)In the Netherlands, a complex heat transition is taking place. Currently, the country's built environment largely relies on natural gas for heating. By 2050, the housing sector should, in principle, be free of this fuel. Changes in laws, policies, regulations, and technical solutions to achieve this goal will be challenging. Their implementation...doctoral thesis 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Hansen, H.H. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Natural gas for heating is widespread in the built environment of The Netherlands, where the government aims at limiting heat demand and reducing natural gas consumption over the coming decades. In the owner-occupied residential sector, this transition is complex and requires cooperation and coordination of individuals and groups that make...journal article 2022

Sadeghizadeh Bafandeh, Shahrzad (author), Bagherzadeh, Saeed (author), Mianabadi, Hojjat (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Although good water governance (GWG) is a widely accepted concept, mistaking its principles for silver bullet approaches has hindered its successful applications. This highlights the idea that one-size-fits-all thinking does not satisfy the need to navigate toward sustainable outcomes in ever-changing complex water systems. This also...journal article 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Hansen, Helle Hvid (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)The Netherlands aims at reducing natural gas consumption for heating in the housing sector. Although homeowners are responsible for replacing their heating systems and improving dwelling insulation, they are not always able to make individual decisions. Some projects require group decisions within and between buildings. We use an agent-based...journal article 2021

Knetemann, Kylian (author)Over the last decades, the world population has grown vastly and the percentage of people living in cities has increased. This process of urbanization has had a lot of implications for both safety management and research on evacuations. Due to this growth in urbanization, more high density gatherings are taking place, potentially resulting in...master thesis 2021

Liang, F. (author), Brunelli, Matteo (author), Septian, Kevin (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method that has recently been introduced. The original BWM assumes that decision-makers are always certain about their judgments even if, in reality, decision-makers often express uncertain preferences. To deal with uncertainty, we introduce a belief structure in the BWM,...journal article 2021

Rabiee, Meysam (author), Aslani, Babak (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Detecting and handling biased decision-makers in the group decision-making process is overlooked in the literature. This paper aims to develop an anti-biased statistical approach, including extreme, moderate, and soft versions, as a decision support system for group decision-making (GDM) to detect and handle the bias. The extreme version...journal article 2021

Baharmand, Hossein (author), Comes, M. (author), Lauras, Matthieu (author)In the humanitarian response, multiple decision-makers (DMs) need to collaborate in various problems, such as locating temporary relief distribution centres (RDCs). Several studies have argued that maximising demand coverage, reducing logistics costs and minimising response time are among the critical objectives when locating RDCs after a...journal article 2020

Peerlings, Bram (author)In the highly uncertain environment of conceptual aircraft design and technology assessment and selection, making good decisions is of utmost importance. Aiming to contribute to improving decision quality, the problem was researched from both a technical as well as a socio-psychological perspective. In the technical perspective, the uncertainty...master thesis 2019

Sanchez-Anguix, Victor (author), Aydoğan, Reyhan (author), Baarslag, T. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)In this article, we introduce a new paradigm to achieve Pareto optimality in group decision-making processes: bottom-up approaches to Pareto optimality. It is based on the idea that, while resolving a conflict in a group, individuals may trust some members more than others; thus, they may be willing to cooperate and share more information...journal article 2019

Mohammadi, Majid (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The best-worst method (BWM) is a multi-criteria decision-making method which finds the optimal weights of a set of criteria based on the preferences of only one decision-maker (DM) (or evaluator). However, it cannot amalgamate the preferences of multiple decision-makers/evaluators in the so-called group decision-making problem. A typical way...journal article 2019

Robaey, Z.H. (author), Spruit, S. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)The Safe-by-Design approach in synthetic biology holds the promise of designing the building blocks of life in an organism guided by the value of safety. This paves a new way for using biotechnologies safely. However, the Safe-by-Design approach moves the bulk of the responsibility for safety to the actors in the research and development...journal article 2017

(author), Werthner, Hannes (author), Zanker, Markus (author)Most research on group recommender systems relies on the assumption that individuals have conflicting preferences; in order to generate group recommendations the system should identify a fair way of aggregating these preferences. Both empirical studies and theoretical frameworks have tried to identify the most effective preference aggregation...conference paper 2016

Ngai, K.S. (author)When a group decides to plan and organize a vacation, many researchers mention that group decision making within the travel planning problem often leads to suboptimal decisions. This can be explained by the fact that the process of travel group decision making is typically ineffective. To overcome some of the problems, we propose an intelligent...master thesis 2010
