An influence diagram is a compact representation emphasizing the qualitative features of decision problem under uncertainty. Classical influence diagram has parameters stable in time, determined order of suggested decisions and generally is independent of time. Here we have shown some possible methods of construction of time dependent influence diagrams: with decision ordering, time-sliced segments and time consuming nodes. Such gathering of methods can help in selection of a proper solution.
