Application of ELECTRE III for the integrated management of municipal solid wastes in the Greater Athens Area
Article Abstract:
Criteria for Municipal solid waste management for the Greater Athens Area in Greece were analyzed based on multicriterial analysis. The feasibility of five solid waste management strategies for the Greater Athens Area household was analyzed based on minimum environmental impact, financial costs, technological aspects and usage of available sanitary landfill resources. Multicriterial analysis of the proposed landfills was based on the ELECTRE III method which suggested an integrated municipal solid waste management system based on separate collections from the source.

On simulation and optimization of macroeconometric models
Article Abstract:
A proposed approach to solving deterministic nonlinear discrete dynamic macroeconometric models is presented along with a proposed algorithm for optimization. Results show that the approach can generate solutions for specific problems and that the algorithm is updated in a reduced-gradient situation since it is based on partially known quasi-Newton Hessian matrix. The required number of iterations for the algorithm to converge is almost unaffected by the number of periods while operational time to solve the model and the gradient is almost linear.
