A Library of Components for Classification Problem Solving

In this document we present a library of generic, reusable components whose purpose is to support the specification and operationalization of classification problem solvers. In addition, it is envisaged that this library will provide a test case for future version of the IBROW component brokering and configuration system. The library has been specified in the OCML modelling language, according to the IBROW framework for reuse. It comprises ontologies, task specifications and problem solving methods. In the document we discuss our approach to modelling classification problem solving, we describe the various parts of the library, we illustrate its application to a pre-existing domain model and we discuss related work and open issues.
