Call for Papers Special issue on
“Multiple criteria decision making for sustainable development goals (SDGs)”
Davide La Torre, Hatem Masri and Constantin Zopounidis
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the list of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) was approved by all United Nations Member States in 2015. The main goals include future scenarios with no poverty, zero hunger, good health, quality education, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, and many other crucial targets for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has demonstrated to be a successful tool to model complex decision-making problems involving competing and conflicting multiple criteria. It has gained significant attention from both researchers and practitioners across various disciplines. The MCDM conferences have been instrumental in fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange in this field.
We are pleased to announce a special issue of the International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Society and the 27th International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM 2024) dedicated to the latest developments and applications of MCDM to the SDGs.
This special issue will host a selection of the best-refereed papers presented at the MCDM 2024 conference. However, it is also open to submissions from the entire MCDM community working in the field.
Therefore, we invite researchers and practitioners from all over the world to contribute with original research papers to this special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Developments of MCDM methodologies and techniques
• Applications of MCDM to SDGs
• Decision support systems for SDGs
• Uncertainty in MCDM for SDGs
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning in MCDM
The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2025.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of ITOR, published by the International Federation of Operational Research Societies. Papers should be original, unpublished, and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Contributions should be prepared according to the guidelines and instructions to authors that can be found on the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using the submission site at https://mc. manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in their cover letter that the paper is intended for this special issue. Other inquiries should be sent directly to Davide La Torre ([email protected]).
