Advances in decision graphs

Abstract. Frameworks for handling decision problems have been subject to many advances in the last years, both w.r.t. representation languages, solution algorithms and methods for analyzing decision problems. In this paper we outline some of the recent advances by taking outset in the influence diagram framework. In particular, we shall focus on advances in representation languages and exact solution algorithms for decision problems with a single decision maker. Moreover, we give a brief outline of recent contributions to methods for performing sensitivity analysis in influence diagrams.
