EURO 20th anniversary: the prospective future

Article Abstract:

It is difficult to make specific forecasts about the Assn. of European Operations Research Socities (EURO) on the occasion of its 20th anniversary on Jan. 27, 1995 since EURO is still facing many problems. Nevertheless, it may be predicted that the organization will remain 'financially sound' and that future EURO K conferences will continue to draw many participants. Likewise, the rise of female operations research practitioners is expected to result in a female president in the near future.

An overview on "The European school of MCDA: emergence, basic features and current works." (multi-criteria decision analysis)(EURO XIV: Research Reviews and Tutorials)

Article Abstract:

The development of the European School of multiple criteria decision analysis is mainly attributed to the European Working Group's 'Multicriteria Aid for Decisions.' The concept of resorting to multiple criteria was difficult to support during the early 1960s, but the introduction of ELECTRE provided a significant boost. A major breakthrough was the holding of the first multicriteria session session within the 7th Mathematical Programming Symposium in The Hague in 1971.
