Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of two evidential networks applied to the reliability study of complex systems with uncertain knowledge. This comparison is based on different aspects. In particular, the original structure, the graphical structures for the inference, the message-passing schemes, the storage efficiencies, the computational efficiencies and the exactness of the results are studied.
