Preface
This volume contains a collection of papers presented at the 15th International
Conference onMultiple Criteria DecisionMaking heldinAnkara, Turkey July 10
14, 2000. This wasone of the regular conferences of the International Society on
Multiple Criteria Decision Making, which are held at approximately two-year
intervals. The Ankaraconference had 195participants from 38countries. Atotal
of 185papers werepresented attheconference.
The titleofour volumeisMCDM intheNewMillennium.The papers presented
at the conference reflect the theme. We had several papers on information
technology (IT) and many application papers. Of the 81 application papers
presented, 14appear inthe volume. Weexpect more ITapplications of MCDM to
appear inthefuture,inparticular intheareasofe-commerceandtheinternet.
The conference surroundings andaccomodations wereexcellent,andconducive
to both an outstanding academic exchange, and enjoyment and a cultural
broadening of participants. We had a pleasant and enjoyable outing and visit to
the Anatolian Civilizations Museum. We also had an outstanding banquet at
which awards were presented. The MCDM Gold Medal was presented to
ProfessorThomas Saaty,oftheUniversityofPittsburgh. The MCDM Presidential
Service Award waspresented toProfessorPekka Korhonen oftheHelsinki School
of Economics for his years of presidential service to the society. The society
presented the MCDM Edgeworth-Pareto Award to Professor Alexander V.Lotov
of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It also presented the George Cantor Award
to Philippe Vincke of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles. The society presented
The MCDM Conference Chairmanship Award to Murat Koksalan of the Middle
East Technical University. The society's new president, Valerie Belton of
StrathclydeUniversity tookoffice atthemeeting.
We would like to thank the administrators of the Middle East Technical
University (METU) who have been very supportive and generous in making
available university resources. Members oftheIndustrial EngineeringDepartment
worked diligently inthe organization of the conference to make it a success. Ms.
Banu Akman and herstaff from theMETU Travel Agency did anexcellent job in
handling variousconference arrangements.
For their efforts, we would like to recognize and thank the local organizing
committee members:

In putting together the proceedings, the editors asked participants to submit
papers for the volume. Papers were sent to multiple reviewers, who reviewed the
VII
papers efficiently and effectively. We thank them for their service, and list their
names atthe end of the volume. Without their help, we would not have been able
tocomplete thisvolume inthetimetaken.
In addition to the authors and reviewers, we must also thank the people who
helped in putting together the volume. In Buffalo at the State University ofNew
York, secretary Ms. Valerie Limpert was extremely helpful, as was a Ph. D.
Student, Ms. Hyunjeong Kang, who helped in the formatting of the papers. In
Ankara, various staff at the METU provided assistance and in West Lafayette
various staffmembersofPurdueUniversity provided assistance.
