This paper examines the methods being devised at Victoria University to provide an intelligent, knowledge based interface to expert systems, simulation packages and CAD systems for architectural design. Currently a large amount of information is duplicated in describing a building to different design tools. To enable designers to use different design tools to evaluate a building design, without...

The rapid development of emerging technologies such as BIM has greatly promoted the intelligent prefabricated building construction. This paper adopts a research method that combines on-site investigation, field testing, and technological to explore quality control in construction integration buildings with Focusing on three key - component installation, layout, steel connection—the examines te...

In building intelligent tutoring systems, it is critical to be able to understand and diagnose student responses in interactive problem solving. However, building this understanding into the tutor is a time-intensive process usually conducted by subject experts. Much of this time is spent in building production rules that model all the ways a student might solve a problem. In our prior work, we...

Intelligent assistants are ubiquitous and will grow in importance. Apple’s well-known assistant Siri uses Active Ontologies to process user input and to model the provided functionalities. Supporting new features requires extending the ontologies or even building new ones. The question is no longer “How to build an intelligent assistant?” but “How to do it efficiently?” We propose EASIER, an ap...
