This extension suitable for decision-making situations whichbe face with mixture appraisement that simultaneously regarded to both "group utility" or majority and "individual regret" of the opponent. The Integrated and developed model is suitable for inconsistent conditions that we face to collection of criterias and sub criterias that should satisfy some of them collectively and simultaneously and in other attainment of some individual criterias is desirable.
