Elvira

The Elvira project concerns the development of the software tool Elvira (Elvira is the ancient name of Granada) for constructing model based decision support systems through the specification of Bayesian networks and influence diagrams. The development of Elvira was initiated in August of 1997, and started as a joint project with four universities as partners: University of Granada, University of the Basque country, National University of Distance Education and the University of Almer. Currently, the University of Castilla-La Mancha is also taking part as partner, and collaboration has recently been initiated with this research unit of decision support systems as well as some private companies.
