Survey on Bayesian Networks for Situation Assessment

The research of Situation Assessment(SA) is introduced,and the advantages of Bayesian network when it is used in SA is presented.The main aspects of study on Bayesian networks' application in SA are analyzed.The network-construction methods and the temporal inference technologies for the application of present Bayesian networks in SA are discussed in detail.It is indicated that it is a development tendency to use the current Bayesian network to improve its coding capability of military knowledge and realize module inference.The commonly used Bayesian network simulation tools are presented with a brief summary on their characteristics.The major problems existed in application of Bayesian networks in SA and some beneficial study ideas are prestened in the end.
