In the last years, some Software Resources for Developing Multicriteria Applications (SRDMA) have been developed. The purpose of this review is to determine the state of the art on SRDMA to obtain a catalog of what has been developed which include libraries, frameworks, webservices and others. For this, it was performed a web search of research published in the last 10 years.
We have published this review in three different parts and presented them on three different congresses of Mol2Net series according to the topic. The publications and software found were classified into 3 different categories. Part 1: types of software resources developed (NIECXSM), Part 2: multicriteria methods implemented (USEDAT-08) and operating systems supported (CATCHTOHIT-03).
To analyze them we carry out a Contextual and a Formal Concept Analysis. Findings suggest that the most used multicriteria methods were AHP and TOPSIS. Thus, we consider that future research should contemplate the implementation of a greater variety of multicriteria methods than those used up to now.
