TL;DR
The results indicate that the proposed Multiple Criteria Analysis methodology can certainly improve the recommendation process by producing highly accurate results, from a user oriented perspective.
Abstract
UTARec, a Recommender System that incorporates Multiple Criteria Analysis methodologies is presented. The system's performance and capability of addressing certain shortfalls of existing Recommender Systems is demonstrated in the case of movie recommendations. UTARec's accuracy is measured in terms of Kendall's tau and ROC curve analysis and is also compared to a Multiple Rating Collaborative Filtering (MRCF) approach. The results indicate that the proposed Multiple Criteria Analysis methodology can certainly improve the recommendation process by producing highly accurate results, from a user oriented perspective.

The key decisions in evaluating collaborative filtering recommender systems are reviewed: the user tasks being evaluated, the types of analysis and datasets being used, the ways in which prediction quality is measured, the evaluation of prediction attributes other than quality, and the user-based evaluation of the system as a whole.
