Abstract [en]

Practitioners of multi-objective optimization currently lack open tools that provide decision support through knowledge discovery. There exist many software platforms for multi-objective optimization, but they often fall short of implementing methods for rigorous post-optimality analysis and knowledge discovery from the generated solutions. This paper presents Mimer, a multi-criteria decision support tool for solution exploration, preference elicitation, knowledge discovery, and knowledge visualization. Mimer is openly available as a web-based tool and uses state-of-the-art web-technologies based on WebAssembly to perform heavy computations on the client-side. Its features include multiple linked visualizations and input methods that enable the decision maker to interact with the solutions, knowledge discovery through interactive data mining and graph-based knowledge visualization. It also includes a complete Python programming interface for advanced data manipulation tasks that may be too specific for the graphical interface. Mimer is evaluated through a user study in which the participants are asked to perform representative tasks simulating practical analysis and decision making. The participants also complete a questionnaire about their experience and the features available in Mimer. The survey indicates that participants find Mimer useful for decision support. The participants also offered suggestions for enhancing some features and implementing new features to extend the capabilities of the tool.
