Smart Multi-Criteria Analytics and Reasoning Technologies (SMART)

2025

The SMART journal emerges from a growing need for a modern, interdisciplinary platform that bridges the domains of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) and artificial intelligence (AI). In an era marked by increasingly complex decisions and highly diverse data sources, SMART seeks to become a central hub for collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and decision-makers. Its mission is to promote analytical, intelligent, and transparent approaches to decision-making by encouraging the integration of advanced methodologies, innovative technologies, and practical applications. By fostering dialogue across disciplines, SMART aims to shape the future of decision science and support more informed, data-driven strategies.
