Is the __D__ynamic __I__ntegration __a__nd __n__umeric __a__nalysis tool, a simulation environment for
processing of !DifferentialAlgebraicEquation models. It is the successor of [wiki:Diva]. Diana offers simulation, parameter analysis,
parameter estimation and bifurcation analysis and implements several recent improvements in the fields 
of nonlinear analysis, optimization and state estimation compared to [wiki:Diva]. A detailed comparison between Diva and Diana can be found [wiki:DianaDivaComparison here] [[BR]]
The Diana project is done in close cooperation with the [http://donntu.edu.ua/ Donezk Technical University].
