Single point, amplitude distributions and area measurements via Matrix Array Ultrasonic Testing (MAUT) software tools can provide users numerous options and versatility to characterise and quantify porosity. These measurement tools can specifically be beneficial in Live Mode when capturing data for better visualisation and will lead to a more accurate decision-making. Although the application examples highlighted in this presentation are mainly focused on porosity measurements, such ultrasonic workflow can be fine-tuned and adopted for many other inspection tasks as a quantitative test method. This case study is carried out by utilising the MAUT technology as a new and pioneer technique for porosity evaluation.
The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology provides decision mak-ers (DM) with a set of universal methods and models that may also be applied for sup-porting negotiation processes. In this paper we discuss the usability of various classic MCDA techniques taking into account decision maker’s subjective preferences for evaluating the negotiation template and building the scoring system for negotiation offers evaluation in the well-structured negotiation problems. This scoring system allows for evaluation of the negotiation offers, ranking and comparing them and therefore makes it easier for negotiators to decide on accepting or rejecting of different contract alternatives proposed by their counterparts. The main goal of the paper is to present a comparative analysis of four multiple crite-ria decision making methods such as: SAW, MAUT, AHP, TOPSIS, the fundamental as-sumptions of which are different, but allow for using them in the negotiation support. All presented procedures make it possible to evaluate the negotiation offers (full packages) and build a ranking of them (and ordering them from the best to the worst one), to deter-mine the alternative offers, to evaluate and compare the extent size of potential conces-sions. Those procedures also allow for conducting postnegotiation analysis in order to find the improvements of the compromise negotiated by the parties themselves by im-plementing some arbitration procedures derived directly from the game theory. We pre-sent the fundamental notions as well as the formal algorithms of each procedure discuss-ing both their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, we describe some modifica-tions of these methods that make them more applicable for solving negotiation problems. An example of application in the negotiation context is also presented in the case of problem where the space of feasible alternatives continues. We show in an example how some of the discussed methods are chosen that fit the specific problem, namely the con-struction of a continuous scoring functions allowing for the evaluation of any feasible al-ternative.
The paper presents a feasibility analysis of changes in the manner of development a former sports facility, Edmund Szyc Stadium in Poznań. The terrain and adjacent areas were inventoried, including the assessment of inter-area relationships. Based on the inventory and authors' surveys, three developmental variants were selected for further analysis. Particular attention was paid to the purpose of the area in the local zoning plan (local spatial development plan) and the preferences of its local community. A multi-criteria analysis carried out with three different methods – AHP, MAUT and PROMETHEE II indicated the second variant as optimal. Additionally, the authors performed a sensitivity analysis of the AHP method to determine the weight of adopted criteria. This allowed for observing what impact these changes had on the final result. The sensitivity analysis was performed only for 3 main groups of criteria. The implementation of activities planned in the concept will allow for optimal land development, improvement in functionality as well as improvement in visual and landscape characteristics of the city.

The following paper is dealing with directions developing in the literature on choosing the MCDA method best suited to solve a given decision problem. When considering factors originating from the subject of the decision, the main focus was on case studies which support applying a particular method to a given problem - price comparison in the Internet.
