Abstract
This paper proposes a decision support system for building and choosing a daily schedule of medical treatments in a hospital according the available resources and following multiple criteria. It uses a Scatter
Search metaheuristics empowered by enabling interaction with the decision maker in order to collect his/her preference information and to guide the search to the areas of particular interest. A preference model is built, composed of all general additive monotone non-decreasing value functions compatible with the obtained information using method called Generalized Regression with Intensities of Preference. The set of functions is then applied to a small subset of the set of Pareto optimal solutions, resulting in two rankings: the necessary and the possible one.
