For real time evaluation of a Bayesian network when there is not sufficient time to obtain an exact solution, a guaranteed response time, approximate solution is required. It is shown that nontraditional methods utilizing estimators based on an archive of trial solutions and genetic search can provide an approximate solution that is considerably superior to the traditional Monte Carlo simulation methods.

A control algorithm for batch processing of mixed waste is proposed based on conditional Gaussian Bayesian networks. The network is compiled during batch staging for real-time response to sensor input.
