Abstract: Abstract This paper gives an overview of the PROMETHEE-GAIA methodology for MCDA. It starts with general comments on multicriteria problems, stressing that a multicriteria problem cannot be treated without additional information related to the preferences and the priorities of the decision-makers. The information requested by PROMETHEE and GAIA is particularly clear and easy to define for both decision-makers and analysts. It consists in a preference function associated to each criterion as well as weights describing their relative importance. The PROMETHEE I, the PROMETHEE II ranking, as well as the GAIA visual interactive module are then presented. Additionally, comments about potential rank reversal occurrences are provided. The two next sections are devoted to the PROMETHEE VI sensitivity analysis procedure (human brain) and to the PROMETHEE V procedure for multiple selection of alternatives under constraints. A sorting method based on the PROMETHEE flow scores, called FlowSort, is described. An overview of the PROMETHEE GDSS procedure for group decision making is then given. Finally the D-Sight implementation of the PROMETHEE-GAIA methodology is presented.
