Using GIS-linked Bayesian Belief Networks as a tool for modelling urban biodiversity

Bayesian Belief Networks as a Software Productivity Estimation Tool

Defining the required productivity in order to complete successfully and within time and budget constraints a software development project is actually a reasoning problem that should be modelled under uncertainty. The contribution of this paper is the analysis of the applicability of probabilistic reasoning approaches, in particular Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN), to this problem. BBNs are capa...

Project Portfolio Risk Response Selection Using Bayesian Belief Networks

Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...

Modelling ecosystem services using Bayesian belief networks: Burggravenstroom case study

While being studied by scientists for decades, the term ecosystem services was only recently introduced to the general public. This introduction intended broad-scale recognition of ecosystems and their value for human wellbeing. Both quantitative and qualitative research on ecosystem services became emerging topics in scientific research. Ecosystem service prediction models were developed varyi...

Bridge Condition Modelling and Prediction Using Dynamic Bayesian Belief Networks

a gis based assessment tool for biodiversity conservation

infrastructure development often leads to considerable changes in the land use. these changes are major causes of habitat fragmentation and ecosystem loss. moreover, decrease of the environmental impacts on biodiversity is among the most important objectives of sustainable development. for this purpose, environmental impact assessment (eia) along with the other appropriate tools can be applied ...
