Abstract
This paper deals with representation and solution of asymmetric decision problems. We describe a new graphical representation called sequential valuation networks, which is a hybrid of Covaliu and Oliver’s sequential decision diagrams and Shenoy’s asymmetric valuation networks. Sequential
valuation networks inherit many of the strengths of sequential decision diagrams and asymmetric valuation networks while overcoming many of their
shortcomings. We illustrate our technique by representing and solving a modified version of Covaliu and Oliver’s Reactor problem.
