The French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) has awarded an ongoing IT4BI Master Thesis Project with the prize "Prix spécial du jury" in the context of the competition "Boost Your Code 2015".
The award was given for ElectioVis, an open source decision-aiding software tool that I started to develop as part of the IT4BI Decision Support and BI specialisation I am pursuing at École Centrale Paris. The project profits from the academic advisory of Prof. Valentina Ferretti, an expert in the decision-making field who lectures at École Centrale Paris and Polytechnic University of Turin.
ElectioVis is a website that aims to bring the power of decision-making closer to all citizens of the world, overcoming economic, social, cognitive and language barriers. It will be available online during June 2015 and everyone will be able to try it for free.
