✦ Synopsis

An index of power is proposed. based on the concept of the entropy of information, which measures the distribution of power among decision makers who commit themselves at distinctive stages in the hierarchical decision systems. The index is tested and is shown to work well with a model of public decision-making in an indirect democracy. Moreover, it is ahown that the entropy decreases monotonically in hierarchical and sequential decision systems. "his property indicates support for the applicability of the index.

In agent-mediated applications, the system configuration can change because of the creation and the deletion of agents. The behavior of such systems on the one hand depends on the dynamics of the system configuration; on the other hand, behavior of such a system consists of the information dynamics

In this paper hierarchical multicriteria optimization problems are addressed in a convex programming framework. It is assumed that the criteria are aggregated into a nonlinear function, which renders the problem nonseparable, in general. The projection of the problem onto the criteria space is used
