The Wiley Prize has been awarded for the best paper describing a real-life application of multicriteria decision analysis presented at the International Conference on MCDM since 1996. At the 18 th International Conference, which was held in Chania, Crete, from 19-23 June, 2006, we experimented with a new format for the competition. Authors who presented an application at the conference and wanted this to be considered for the award were invited to submit a paper describing their work for publication in a special issue of JMCDA. All the papers accepted for publication, which are the ones presented in this issue, became candidates for the award and were evaluated by a panel of judges whose MCDA expertise spans the range of MCDA approaches reflected in the papers.
As you can read for yourself, the candidate papers demonstrate the application of a range of MCDA methods to a diversity of interesting and topical issues, illustrating the significant potential for MCDA to inform decision making in practice.
Each of the judges evaluated the papers against the four published criteria for award of the Wiley prize, which are: * Effectiveness of the application * Innovation * Clarity of presentation * Appropriateness of the methodology to the problem context.
