ROADEF (the french association of operational research and decision aiding).
Since 2010 he is honorary chairman of the Euro Working Group on Multicriteria
Decision Aiding.
Bernard Roy has a PhD in Mathematics Doctor
from the University of Paris (1961); is a graduate of the Statistics Institute
of Paris University (1957); and attended courses at Institut d'Etudes
Politiques (1954-1956). Before joining the university, from 1957 to 1966,
he was a consultant at SEMA (Société d'Economie et de Mathématiques Appliquées),

Bernard Roy's main contributions
focus on two broad themes:
·
Graph
Theory with path-breaking contributions to the theory of flows in networks and
project scheduling (with the invention of the activity on nodes method).
·
Multiple
Criteria Decision Aiding with the invention of the family of ELECTRE methods
and methodological contributions to decision aiding that have lead to the
creation of the European School of MCDA
His current research addresses two
main topics:
·
Robustness
in Operational Research and Decision Aiding.
· Multicriteria tools for collective decision (called concertation in French)
