Abstract. In this paper, we present a fast Belief Function based Inter-Criteria Analysis (BF-ICrA) method based on the canonical decomposition of basic belief assignments defined on a dichotomous frame of discernment. This new method is then applied for evaluating the Multiple-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (MO-ACO) algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) deployment.
