Abstract

Artificial intelligence represents important area in the field of Computer Science and Engineering. The paper describes Bayesian thinking and the software system for learning Bayesian networks which has been realized at the University of Belgrade - School of Electrical Engineering. This software has been developed as visual interactive educational system for students and will be used within undergraduate studies, within the course subject ´Intelligent Systems.´ In this system it is possible to create arbitrary Bayesian network and demonstrate the process of reasoning and decision making, through detailed monitoring of the process. The main objectives of using the system are: to simplify the learning process, and make it efficient and easily integrated into the course.
