Version:1.0
Provider:ws-Mcc
SOAP service’s name:
 mccClusters-ws-Mcc (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

This web service computes clusters of alternatives based on the following clustering typology: non-relational, relational, ordered, {p+,p-}-exclusive relational and {p+,p-}-exclusive ordered multi-criteria clustering.

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

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

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

preferenceRelation

The preference relation between alternatives.

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

methodParameters (optional)

Indicates the type of clustering result to find: Non-relations (NR), Relationa (R), Ordered (O), Q-exclusive Relational (QR), Q-exclusive Ordered (QO).

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

<programParameters>
<parameter name=”type”>
<values>
<value>
<label>%1</label>

</value>

</values>

</parameter>

</programParameters>

where:

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

    • NR: Non-relational
    • R: Relational
    • O: Ordered
    • QR: Relational {p+,p-}-exclusive
    • QO: Ordered {p+,p-}-exclusive

    The default value is NR.

Outputs

alternativesAffectations

The alternatives affectations to the clusters.

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

clustersRelations

The relation between clusters.

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

messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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