This paper presents a suggested alternative to simplistic majority voting schemes based on the value of uncertain information.
The first alternative follows a simplistic solution, the second makes use of a design pattern and the third applies Aspect-Oriented Programming techniques to implement the same pattern.
They said that identifying the "ideal product among many different alternatives is not as simplistic, straightforward and clear-cut as some mistakenly believe".
The graphical methods of line and spider graph methods are easy to calculate, visualize, and provide a simplistic approach for comparison, ranking of alternatives.
