1. A method for balancing competing attributes in a multi-attribute design optimization, which receives attributes and a set of input variables as inputs, the method comprising:

  • constructing a preference function for each of a plurality of attributes to be balanced, the preference function defining a preferred outcome for a given set of inputs;

    aggregating the preference functions associated with each attribute to define an aggregated preference function, thereby integrating the attributes; and

    calculating optimal values for the set of input variables that optiize the aggregated preference function.
