Bayesian Plumbing under Uncertainty

Good short piece on the potential for using Bayesian networks to simulate aspecst of the Internet of things (IOT).   The open question on many of these kinds of problems is:  What is the architecture, current or planned, of the system we are attempting to understand?   The URL made me think, well this is a kind of plumbing problem.   This is especially useful if we have much existing data to model the system.  Also good if we have a mixture of actual and expertise based data.  Then we can simulate changes in data,  from either a forecast or potential architecture design and changes.  And all systems have important elements of uncertainty, and that is also modeled by Bayesian Nets. Some of our early work looked at simple RFID systems.
