  We study classical and quantum noncommutative cosmology with a Liouville-type
scalar degree of freedom. The noncommutativity is imposed on the minisuperspace
variables through a deformation of the Poisson algebra. In this paper, we
investigate the effects of noncommutativity of minisuperspace variables on the
accelerating behavior of the cosmic scale factor. The probability distribution
in noncommutative quantum cosmology is also studied and we propose a novel
candidate for interpretation of the probability distribution in terms of
noncommutative arguments.
