COMET

Version:1.0
Provider:ZUT
SOAP service’s name:
 COMET-ZUT (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

This web service allows to compute preference value of a given alternatives set based on COMET method (Characteristic Objects METhod) using provided matrix of expert judgement (MEJ). More info on the method can be found at: http://comet.edu.pl/. Current version is based on 3 characteristic values for every criteria (Which means there will be n_criteria^3 characteristic objects).

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

A list of criteria. Criteria can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), criteria are considered as active.

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


alternatives

A list of alternatives.

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


performanceTable

A performance table.

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


mej

Matrix of expert’s judgement containing comparisons between characteristic objects. There should be (number_of_characteristic_objects)^2 comparisons (pairs) for the matrix to be parsed correctly. All values must be <real> numbers.

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


Outputs

alternativesValues

The evaluation of the alternatives

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


messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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