BNIsatser
BNIsatser is a fictional framework designed to illustrate how Bayesian networks can govern the integration of satellite sensing and execution functions. The name combines Bayesian Network Inference with satellite systems to describe a probabilistic, modular approach to autonomous decision making in space and Earth observation contexts.
Architecture includes four principal components: a Bayesian inference engine that computes posterior probabilities from multi-source sensor
Operation: The system ingests sensor data in real time; the inference engine updates beliefs; the fusion layer
History and status: The concept emerged in speculative discussions on probabilistic autonomy for space missions and
Applications and evaluation: Used to illustrate decision-making under uncertainty in Earth observation, disaster response planning, and
Variants and future directions: Variants such as BNIsatser-Core and BNIsatser-Enterprise are described in theoretical notes, differing
