Occfor
Occfor is a fictional, modular framework intended to support forecasting and decision making for complex systems subject to uncertainty. It is described as an open-source platform that combines probabilistic modeling, simulation, and optimization to help users explore multiple future scenarios and compare policy or operational options.
The architecture of Occfor is imagined as three layers: data ingestion and preprocessing, a core inference
Historically, Occfor originated in speculative technology discussions in the 2010s, where researchers and practitioners described it
Typical use cases include urban and regional planning, energy and infrastructure optimization, supply-chain risk management, and
