Best-Worst Method: An MCDM approach beyond merely formulas
In this workshop, I will begin with an overview of the Best-Worst Method, explaining how it effectively mitigates behavioral biases commonly found in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. I then present some experimental analyses comparing BWM to some other MCDM methods including AHP.
Jafar Rezaei holds the position of Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. His research focuses on behavioral decision-making methodologies and their applications across various domains, including supply chain management and the health sector. Jafar Rezaei is widely recognized for his contributions to the development of several decision-making methods, notably the Best-Worst Method (BWM), which has emerged as a mainstream approach in the field of multi-criteria decision-making. In addition to his research, he teaches courses on supply chain management, logistics, and multi-criteria decision analysis. Furthermore, He serves as the editor-in-chief for the Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, a preeminent journal in the MCDA field.

Enhancing Sustainable Supply Chain Decisions through Integrated AHP/ANP Frameworks
The talk will focus on the integrated application of AHP/ANP methods with other techniques and approaches in different design, evaluation and selection problems for the effective realization of “Sustainable supply chain management” activities. It highlights how the combined application of AHP / ANP can support strategic decision-making for real world sustainable supply chain problems, providing a structured and quantitative approach to complex evaluations.

Integrating ethics in AI decision making systems: challenges and opportunities
One of the principal risks, urgently identified by the European AI-ACT, is the potential for AI systems to substitute human decisions in vital spheres of human life (education, health, economy, legal, etc.).
My speech aims to reflect on the diverse options for integrating the ethical principles in AI systems in a way that, using Florid words: “promotes human self-realization, enhances human capabilities, increases social capacities, and cultivates social cohesion”. (Floridi et al., 2018a).
I will start by presenting the main concerns regarding ethics in AI. My second point will define ethics and highlight its potential to guide the development of a human-oriented AI. I will finalize my contribution by proposing ways for the effective and legitimate integration of ethical principles in AI systems.

Shaping sustainable urban mobility: the role of AHP and decision-support methods in participatory transport planning
The keynote speech will present some applications of AHP in combination with other decision-support methods and tools (e.g. agent-based modelling, the Delphi method, GIS) to support participatory decision-making processes in transport planning.
Transport planning has been traditionally seen as a technocratic process, aimed at analysing the transport system, defining and choosing solutions based on the results of technical analyses. Nowadays, thanks to the sustainable mobility paradigm, the approach has changed towards participatory decision-making processes. However, it is not easy to understand how to engage stakeholders and citizens to find solutions that are technically-sound, while satisfying multiple preferences and expectations. Since transport decisions typically involve multiple criteria of judgments, the rationale behind the speech is to understand how multi-criteria decision-making methods and, in particular, AHP, could be used to support participatory transport planning.
Michela Le Pira, PhD, is a currently a Research fellow/lecturer in Transport Planning at the University of Catania (Italy). As a PhD student, her research focused on public participation in transport planning supported by agent-based modelling and multi-criteria decision methods.
She worked As a Post-doc researcher at University of Roma Tre and focused on participatory decision-support methods for sustainable urban freight transport policy-making. As a research fellow at the University of Catania and guest researcher at TU Delft (Netherlands) and UCD Dublin (Ireland), she investigated new scenarios for both passengers and freight transport. She has co-authored more than 80 indexed papers, and she is Associate Editor of Research in Transportation Business and Management (Elsevier) and member of the Editorial Boards of several Journals, like Research in Transportation Economics (Elsevier), Journal of Advanced Transportation (Hindawi), and Scientific Reports (Springer Nature). She is currently the Director of the Studies and Research of AIIT – the Italian Association for Traffic and Transport Engineering.
