DESCRIPTION:According to scenario-based approaches to the assessment of ev
 idence courts  should compare different scenarios. More in particular they
  should investigate  whether and to what extent different scenarios are ca
 pable of explaining the  available evidence. Scenario-based approaches emp
 hasize the importance of  evidence that discriminates between scenarios. <
 br> <span><br>In my presentation I hypothesize that the criterion of discr
 iminating facts  might be too weak in some cases and too strong in others.
  I investigate whether  and how the criterion of novel facts can play a ro
 le next to the criterion of  discriminating facts. My question is whether 
 and if so how Bayesian analysis\,  more specifically Bayesian Networks\, c
 an help to clarify the relevance of novel  facts and to make application o
 f the criteria of discriminating and of novel  facts feasible for courts</
