For students, academics, and professionals in the field of decision sciences, Koksalan (multiple criteria decision making, Middle East Technical U., Turkey) et al. recount the history of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) in the field of management sciences and operations research, from its early history and roots to the 1960s, and through each subsequent decade up to the present. They cover contributors, contributions, and subfields such as decision analysis, goal programming, the work of the "French School," which includes outranking relations, multiple objective mathematical programming, fuzzy set theory, the analytic hierarchy process, and evolutionary multiobjective optimization. They also highlight International Society on Multiple Criteria Decision Making conferences and traditions, its awards, and presidents, and provide biographies of leading scholars in the field, with photos.
