The paper deals with the problem of knowledge granularity in case of building intelligent systems. The origin of the problem is discussed, some knowledge classifications are presented, next the links between types of knowledge and knowledge granularity are shown. In the last part of the paper the question of knowledge granularity types and their usage in intelligent systems is presented and dis...

Since the logistics is an industry with relatively higher energy consumption, the building industry lowcarbon logistics ought to attract wide attentions from the building enterprises. Simulated annealing is an effective intelligent algorithm for optimizing the building materials logistics route. This paper analyzes the similarities between the process of the building materials logistics route o...

As computer systems continue to grow in power and access more networked content and services, we believe there will be an increasing need to provide more user-centric systems that act as intelligent assistants, able to interact naturally with human users and with the information environment. Building such systems is a difficult task that requires expertise in many AI fields, ranging from reason...

Learning to program is difficult. To support learning programming, many intelligent tutoring systems for learning programming have been developed. Research has shown that such tutors have positive effects on learning. However, intelligent tutors for learning programming are not widely used. Building an intelligent tutor for a programming language is a substantial amount of work, and utilising i...

In this paper, we present an implementation of a Java-based framework for building mobile agents : MiLog (Mobile intelligent agents using Logic programming). MiLog provides logic programming and Java programming for developing intelligent agents since it helps users to effectively construct intelligent mechanisms. We address how to realize an anytime migration mechanism, a HTTP(Hyper Text Trans...

This paper presents many different challenges related to Intelligent-Building (IB) communication. The purpose of this research is to determine the best network architecture for IB by the integration of mobile intelligent agents, wireless and wired networks. IBs need to be adaptable to the demands of people using them. For this reason it is necessary to provide an open network architecture with ...

Mobile intelligent tutoring systems have the potential to deliver low-cost, one-to-one assistance to learners outside of the traditional classroom and computer lab settings. The focus of this paper is to outline the process involved in researching the role that mobile devices can play in disseminating and supporting the knowledge gained by intelligent tutors. We review three aspects of mobile i...

Advances in the fields of distributed computing, wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous computing and many more have facilitated the development of a plenitude of Intelligent Environments (IE). The development processes, underlying tools and methods have however not yet been in the focus of researchers. A significant amount of time has to be spent for building a novel ecology of distributed syste...

Intelligence and Knowledge play more and more important roles in building complex intelligent systems, for instance, intrusion detection systems, and operational analysis systems. Knowledge processing in complex intelligent systems faces new challenges from the increased number of applications and environment, such as the requirements of representing domain and human knowledge in intelligent sy...

It is of great advantage to integrate building automation systems (BAS) in intelligent buildings using networks (LAN or WAN).This paper addresses three technical issues in the integration of BASs. One is the integration between BASs and existing enterprise applications. The second is the integration of BASs which adopt different international standardized protocols. The third is the integration...
