Dear	
  IJAHP	
  Reader:	
  

With	
  this	
  issue,	
  IJAHP	
  celebrates	
  its	
  third	
  year	
  of	
  publication.	
  We	
  have	
  been	
  very	
  active	
  
during	
  this	
  period	
  and	
  have	
  started	
  publishing	
  special	
  issues;	
  the	
  first	
  one	
  was	
  dedicated	
  
to	
  the	
  status	
  of	
  AHP	
  practice	
  in	
  Brazil	
  and	
  we	
  are	
  currently	
  working	
  on	
  another	
  special	
  
issue	
  on	
  the	
  topic	
  of	
  sustainability,	
  scheduled	
  for	
  spring	
  2012,	
  thanks	
  to	
  the	
  initiative	
  of	
  
Fabio	
  DeFelice	
  and	
  the	
  valuable	
  assistance	
  of	
  Antonella	
  Petrillo.	
  More	
  such	
  special	
  
issues	
  are	
  planned	
  for	
  the	
  future.	
  A	
  new	
  section	
  called	
  News	
  and	
  Events	
  has	
  been	
  added	
  
to	
  keep	
  our	
  IJAHP	
  community	
  abreast	
  of	
  events	
  of	
  interest	
  and	
  here	
  you	
  will	
  find	
  Fabio	
  
DeFelice’s	
  report	
  on	
  the	
  success	
  of	
  the	
  ISAHP	
  2011	
  conference	
  in	
  June	
  in	
  Sorrento,	
  Italy,	
  
and	
  news	
  about	
  Jagiellonian	
  University	
  of	
  Krakow,	
  Poland,	
  awarding	
  Thomas	
  Saaty	
  an	
  
honorary	
  doctorate.	
  	
  The	
  current	
  issue	
  has	
  five	
  articles,	
  including	
  the	
  last	
  installment	
  on	
  
the	
  topic	
  of	
  the	
  eigenvectors	
  of	
  the	
  AHP/ANP	
  by	
  Stan	
  Lipovetsky	
  and	
  an	
  essay	
  on	
  The	
  
Serious	
  Omission	
  of	
  Comparisons	
  from	
  Aristotle’s	
  Laws	
  of	
  Thought	
  by	
  Thomas	
  Saaty.	
  	
  

Enjoy	
  the	
  Holiday	
  Issue!
