Salvatore Greco – M. Eugenia Cornejo – Xiaoling Wang – Didier Dubois – Francisco Herrera

Salvatore Greco is full professor at the Department of Economics and Business at the University of Catania where has been teaching Decision Theory, General Mathematics, Financial Mathematics and Actuarial Mathematics. He was the coordinator of the PhD in Mathematics for Decisions in Economics and Finance, and he is currently coordinator of the PhD in Economics, Management and Decision Making. His research regards preference modeling and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) with a specific attention to application of rough set theory, robust ordinal regression, non-additive integrals, evolutionary multiobjective optimization methodologies, composite indices for sustainable development, wellbeing and innovation, MCDA models for territorial and urban planning.
At the 22nd International conference on MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision Making) held in Malaga June 17-22 2013, he received the MCDM Gold Medal being “the highest honor that the International Society on Multiple Criteria Decision Making bestows upon a scholar who, over a distinguished career, has devoted much of his/her talent, time, and energy to advancing the field of MCDM, and who has markedly contributed to the theory, methodology, and practice of MCDM”.

Since 2010, Salvatore Greco is one of the three coordinators of the EURO Working Group in Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding. He has been member of the executive committee of International Society on Multiple Criteria Decision Making for the years 2006-2009, 2011-2013, 2016-2019, 2020-2024. In the years 2014-2019 Salvatore Greco was member of the scientific committee of AMASES (Italian Society for Mathematics Applied to Social and Economic Sciences) and in the years 2017-2019 he served as vicepresident. He was the president of the MCDM section of INFORMS for the 2022-2023 term. Salvatore Greco is the editor in chief of Decisions in Economics and Finance and area editor of Journal of Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Soft Computing. He is also in the editorial board of many scientific journals in the domain of operational research and decision analysis (e.g. European Journal of Operational Research, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, EURO Journal on Decision Processes).

Scopus reports 273 publications of Salvatore Greco cited all together 12286 times and an h-index of 59. Google Scholar reports a total of 29136 citations with an h-index of 79. Salvatore Greco is one of World’s Top 2% Scientists, included in the global list released by Stanford University in various disciplines since first edition in 2019.
