PROMETHEE-II-FlowSort_assignments

criteria

Definitions of criteria, and their scales.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <criteria>.

alternatives

Alternatives to consider.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternatives>.

categories

Definitions of categories.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <categories>.

performance_table

The performances of profiles.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <performanceTable>.

flows

Flows of given alternatives and profiles.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.

categories_profiles

Definitions of profiles which should be used for classes (categories) representation.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <categoriesProfiles>.

categories_values

Marks of categories (higher mark means better category). Each category need to have unique mark from 1 to C, where C is a number of categories.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <categoriesValues>.

method_parameters

A set of parameters provided to tune up the module’s operation.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>. It must have the following form:

 <methodParameters>
     <parameter id="comparisonWithProfiles">
         <value>
             <label>%1</label>
         </value>
     </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

• %1 is a parameter named “comparison with profiles”. It can have the following values:

  • central: central profiles
  • bounding: boundary profiles

  The default value is central.

assignments

Final assignments made in a FlowSort (Promethee II) process.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesAffectations>.

messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodMessages>.
