Cogtrust Interview English

CogTrust is a research project that uses JFCM for the “intelligent” part of its model.

About 1.0-SNAPSHOT, 2.0-SNAPSHOT, and branching

Dear users, I want to share with you some thought about the latest developments in JFCM library. Recently i started a huge refactoring to the core library, refactoring that will (hopefully) make JFCM more generic and transform it to something like a “standard API” for fuzzy cognitive maps. I know this sounds a bit optimistic, but I think we’re not so far from this; JFCM was designed from the beginning to be as general, extensible, and flexible as possible, this re-design is just going further in that direction.

Leggendo le loro risposte da sviluppatore e “papà” di JFCM mi sono sentito molto orgoglioso, ma soprattutto mi prudono le mani perché mi hanno fatto venire in mente un sacco di idee nuove!
