The aim of this article is to discuss possible user scenarios for " intelligent " Learning Management Systems (iLMS) and challenges for implementing them. We focus on those scenarios in which Machine Learning (ML) can be used to enhance general purpose web-based Learning Management Systems. We will propose a software engineering framework for the design and implementation of an iLMS.

The usefulness of stress tests as risk management tool crucially depends on the choice of stress scenarios: if the scenario is too implausible, the stress test results will be ignored by management. Unfortunately, there is no generally accepted standard how to choose scenarios. Many institutions apply some standardized scenarios derived from extreme market moves in the past. A substantial drawb...

population growth can greatly impact on greenhouse gas emission pattern in the future. considering the importance of population growth in climate change studies, the present research concentrates on the population growth of the middle east in the late 21th century based on the iiasa population scenarios. under the projections of a1-b1 scenario, the world’s population will grow up to 8.7 billion...

land use optimization is one of the appropriate methods for soil conservation which helps decision makers and watershed planners in order to make the optimum decision among different land uses. the main objective of this research was to find the optimum area of each land use to reduce soil erosion rate as well as to increase the income of stakeholders in golroudbar watershed located in semnan p...

This paper addresses security information management in complex application scenarios. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems collect and examine security related events, with the goal of providing a unified view of the monitored systems’ security status. While various SIEMs are in production, there is scope to extend the capability and resilience of these systems. The use of ...

The process-based forest growth model 4C (FORESEE FORESt Ecosystems in a Changing Environment) was used to analyze the growth of a mixed oak-pine stand [Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl., Pinus sylvestris L.]. The oak-pine stand is typical for the ongoing forest transformation in the north-eastern lowlands. The pine and the oak trees are 104 and 9 years old, respectively. Three different mana...
