| Abstract | This paper provides a priori cirteria for determing when a causal model is sufficiently complete to be considered a Bayesian Network, and a new representation for Bayesian Networks shown to be more computationally efficient in a wide range of circumstances than current representations.Expert Systems for domains in which uncertainty plays a major role are often built from causal models. These models are usually implemented using Baysesian Network technology under the often tacit assumption that a causal model is a satisfactory Bayesian Network of the domain. If the system produces unsatisfactory results, the causal model is usually deemed inadequate, probably containing insufficient detail.The assumption that a causal model is an appropriate Bayesian Network model is justified by invoking the so called "Causal Markov Condition". In this paper we argue that in many cases it is not the inadequacy of the causal model which produces unsatisfactory results, but rather the inappropriateness of the Causal Markov Condition itself.In this paper we introduce a new functional model of causality, the Communicating Causal Process model, and analyze the appropriatenss of the Causal Markov Condition in light of this model. This analysis yelds domain based a priori criteria for judging when the Causal Markov Condition does or does not hold, and when a Causal Model is sufficiently detailed that it can be considered a Bayesian Network.The Communicating Causal Process model also provides the basis for a new representation of Bayes Networks which shown to be more computationally efficient than current representations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
