HIPRE 3+ Group Link is a decision support software for group decision making. The software is based on the interval AHP also known as the preference programming technique. HIPRE 3+ Group Link can be used in group meetings to support the decision making process where individual AHP models are combined into a preference programming model. HIPRE 3+ Group Link provides an interactive platform for the on-line analysis and combination of preferences in a group. This paper illustrates how to carry out a group decision process by using the preference programming technique.
