+# CbmRoot-Specific Representation of the KF framework
+
+## Introduction
+
+The CbmKf Library contains a set of different Kalman-Filter based fitting utilities, which are specific for the CBM experiment.
+
+**The existing KF-libary will be later replaced with this new one.** Components of the CbmKf library will be placed in the `cbm::kf`
+ namespace (**NOTE:** components of the KfCore are kept in a different namespace **`cbm::algo::kf`**).
+
+
+## Library main classes
+
+### **`cbm::kf::SetupFactory`**
+
+The purpose of the class is to provide a common initialization routine for the kf::Setup instances for different data reconstruction
+units of the CBM experiment.
+
+
+
+
