ABSTRACT

In this chapter we tie together the various techniques and algorithms we have previously introduced for building BNs and supplement them with additional methods, largely draw from the software engineering discipline, in order to propose a general iterative and incremental methodology for the development and deployment of BNs. No one has fully tested such a methodology, so our KEBN model must remain somewhat speculative. In any case, we can illustrate some of its major features with a number of case studies from our experience, which we proceed to do in Chapter 11.
