SKOOB Project

Some of the information available on this site was extracted from a collaborative project called SKOOB, which took place between February of 2008 and January of 2011. However, all the information displayed here is public. Below one can find some characteristics of the SKOOB project, given as part of the history of the creation of this site.

SKOOB means : Structuring Knowledge with Object Oriented Bayesian nets

Main characteristics:

• Project funded by the French National Research Agency
• Duration : 3 years (from 1/2/2008 to 31/1/2011)

Partners

BAYESIA, CHU Nancy, CRAN, EDF R&D, ERPI, INERIS, LIP6, SOREDAB.

The SKOOB project focused on both scientific and technical bottlenecks hindering the development of complex systems:

• improvement of model authoring and engineering process, by facilitating complexity management, component reusability and collaborative work;

• ability to design complex models even when both exact structure and borders (component counts, configurations, horizons of time) will be completely known only at run time;

• exploitation of complex models (for inference, machine learning, planning, etc.) under limited resources (memory and time/computer power).
