DEX2Web – A Web-Based Software Implementing the Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Method DEX

Abstract

DEX2Web is an online suite of tools to help individuals and groups with their decision-making. DEX2Web implements the qualitative multiple-criteria decision-modelling method DEX. DEX is useful for supporting complex decision-making tasks, where there is a need to select a particular option from a set of possible ones to satisfy the goals of the decision-maker. DEX2Web primarily supports interactive development and evaluation of DEX models. Most of the functionality of the first available version of DEX2Web is inherited from its desktop ancestor DEXi: development of DEX model structure, editing of attributes and their scales, definition of decision rules, multi-attribute evaluation and analysis of alternatives, and presenting evaluation results with charts. DEX2Web has a modern software architecture and employs a newly developed DEX software library. DEX2Web is freely available on https://dex2web.ijs.si/.
