With ever increasing complexity of products and customer demands, companies are adopting new strategies to meet the changing technological requirements, shorter product life cycles, and globalization of manufacturing operations. Product design and development are getting more sophisticated procedures/processes involved and require designers and engineers possessing different expertise, knowledg...

Even though social intelligence has not been clearly defined yet, consideration of this new type of intelligence should be important for realizing a new generation of human-machine collaborative systems based on human-centered system design policy. In this article, social intelligence and mind model for implementing socially intelligent agents are studied. At first, emotional and affective aspe...

This paper represents a first step in attempting to engage the research community in discussions about evaluation of human-level intelligent systems. First, we discuss the challenges of evaluating human-level intelligent systems. Second, we explore the different types of claims that are made about HLI systems, which are the basis for confirmatory evaluations. Finally, we briefly discuss a range...

In this short survey paper we first describe the general requirements of intelligent agent systems, and especially the requirements of ubiquitous intelligent agents. We also give an general overview of the state-of-art of the agent design. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the current design methods, which generally are based on object-oriented design methodologies, and try to...

In recent years, there has been a tendency to confuse the terms Intelligence, Autonomy, and Capability. In this paper we present the viewpoint that intelligence and capability are independent. These two factors describe an orthogonal design space that places upper bounds on the autonomy of the intelligent system. This design space for intelligent systems is illustrated by describing existing in...

This paper describes design criteria for creating highly embedded, interactive spaces that we call Intelligent Environments. The motivation for building these systems is to bring computation into the real, physical world to support what is traditionally considered non-computational activity. We describe an existing prototype space, known as the Intelligent Room, which was created to experiment ...

Two Different Views of Origins There are two fundamentally different causes for human origins: blind natural processes (chance-law) or purposeful intelligent design. The chance-law hypothesis, neo-Darwinian evolution, states that humans arose through random mutations preserved by blind natural selection. Thus the famous paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson said in his book The Meaning of Evolu...

“Intelligent Design” (ID) is the name given to a new school of thought regarding the origin and evolution of life on earth. While it claims no specific spiritual allegiance, it argues that living things are “irreducibly complex” and, therefore, clearly the product of intentional design. As a scientific theory, ID is little more than a rhetorical device; no independent research or evidence are p...

Design Evaluator is a pen-based system that provides designers with critical feedback on their sketches in various visual forms. The goal of these system-generated critiques is to help end users who draw and then reason about their drawings to solve design problems. This paper outlines the implementation strategies of the Design Evaluator and shows example applications in two visual design doma...

This paper defends two theses about probabilistic reasoning. First, although modus ponens has a probabilistic analog, modus tollens does not – the fact that a hypothesis says that an observation is very improbable does not entail that the hypothesis is improbable. Second, the evidence relation is essentially comparative; with respect to hypotheses that confer probabilities on observation statem...
