The research area of MCDM/A has a considerable rich history and brings together several different disciplines, including mathematics, engineeringsciences,psychology,economics,and,morerecently,computerscience. The remarkable background of the field of multi-criteria decision-making and aiding is underlined by the existence of an international series of conference on MCDM, datingbackto 1975.Besides, summerschoolsdedicatedto young(PhD) students/researchersareorganizedsince1983.We,theeditorsofthisvolume,have contributedto thisfield, also byservingas organizersofsuchevents,andwe now contributeoncemoretotheareaofMCDMwiththisvolume. When collecting contributions for this book, particular attention was paid to the applicability of the chapters for educational purposes, such as the MCDM/A Summer Schools or university courses on multi-criteria decision aiding/making. Besides the focusonparticulartopics, attentionwas paid to the actualapplication ofaparticularmethodtoagiven(business)casestudy.Thelattertypicallyincludes the implementation of the presented method in a computer system, often realized in a prototypicalfashion.We can tell from ourexperiencethatapplyinga method toaproblemallowsforaparticulardeeplearningexperience,andinthisspirit,we believethechaptersofthisbooktobe.

Chapter5,entitled“RobustRankingofUniversitiesEvaluatedbyHierarchical and Interacting Criteria” by Salvatore Corrente, Salvatore Greco and Roman Słowin´ski, tackles the ranking of universities taking into account several aspects, such as research output. In order to establish the ranking, a multiple criteria hierarchy process is applied. To aggregate the different university performances, the Choquet integralis used to include possible negativeand positive interactions betweenthecriteria. Chapter 6, called “A Multiple Criteria Approach Defining Cultural Adaptive Reuse of Abandoned Buildings” by Ana Sara Costa, Isabella M. Lami, Salvatore Greco, José Rui Figueira and José Borbinha, addresses the evaluation of reusing abandonedbuilding in Turin, Italy. In particular, nine criteria are investigatedand a nominal classification method is applied.
