December 2017 

 

Dear IJAHP Readers: 

 

We publish this issue still besieged by the sadness of the passing away of our founder and 

creator of the AHP methodology, Dr. Thomas Saaty –simply “Tom” for all of us who 

were lucky to work with him and to enjoy his collegiality and friendship. For this reason, 

this issue is dedicated to his memory and who better person to guest edit this special issue 

than Rozann Saaty, his close collaborator and lifelong companion. While Tom created 

AHP, Rozann was decisive in its diffusion worldwide through the Creative Decisions 

Foundation and her research on AHP validation. Rozann has worked long hours to edit 

this special issue in which several scholars, who worked closely with Tom, have selected 

their most memorable AHP papers. They will re-visit these articles and add their own 

insights and comments. Rozann, as guest editor, will provide the proper introduction to 

this special issue honoring Tom’s memory. 

 

Very sincerely, 

 

Enrique Mu, PhD
