Netica Application can be used to provide a user interface for Netica API. Bayes nets can be displayed in the usual way, findings can be entered and beliefs displayed, with Netica API automating Netica Application.
This is an exciting new feature that is being expanded with each new release of Netica. In many cases it allows you to write a short program that extends the functionality of Netica Application, or a short program that completely controls Netica Application to do some specific function.
Netica API (embedded in your software), runs concurrently with Netica Application, as a separate process, and they communicate with each other. The communication is completely transparent to you; all you do is call the regular Netica API functions, and all the details are taken care of.
These capabilities are built into versions of Netica after
3.17. Contact Norsys
to obtain documentation on using them. A version of Netica with
a COM interface (ActiveX) has now been
released, which provides yet another connectivity option.
