Java framework for Evolutionary Computation and Decision Making (JECDM) is a computational framework written in Java that primarily intends to facilitate research on preference-based evolutionary multi-objective optimization. The project's homepage is https://www.jecdm.cs.put.poznan.pl/, where one may find its overview and various tutorials discussing how to utilize it in practice. Its most recent version was developed in Java 17 using the IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2.

How to acknowledge the project? As imposed by the CC BY 4.0 license, one has to give appropriate credit to JECDM’s author if using this software. Since JECDM is primarily for research, appropriate credit can be a citation. As for the initial release of JECDM, one can cite, e.g., a document that overviews JECDM in the following way:
