Hi Javier,

I saw in your paper that you talk about open source tools for probabilistic
graphical models (PGM). I just wanted to point out that UnBBayes (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unbbayes/) is an open source tool for PGM
that started its development back in 2000 and it is still expanding its
features (including OOBN, PRM, and MEBN). In the last 2 years it went
through a major refactoring to allow easy of extension using plugins. It is
the same philosophy applied in Eclipse IDE to allow the community to easily
extend its features.

A proof of its success is that we have been implementing extensions
(plugins) here at George Mason University to UnBBayes without needing any
help from the UnBBayes team and without having to change its original source
code.

We have a chapter on UnBBayes plugin framework in press. If anybody wants to
take a look at it I will be glad to send a copy of it.

Best regards,
Rommel
