Despite several individual forecasting models that have been proposed in the literature, accurate forecasting is yet one of the major challenging problems facing decision makers in various fields, especially financial markets. This is the main reason that numerous researchers have been devoted to develop strategies to improve forecasting accuracy. One of the most well established and widely use...

This thesis aims to explore and demonstrate the ability of the new standard of structural and behavioural components in Unified Modelling Language (UML 2.0 / 2004) to model the learning behaviour of Intelligent Agents. The thesis adopts the research direction that views agent-oriented systems as an extension to object-oriented systems. In view of the fact that UML has been the de facto standard...

abstract from longley, the various equations for determining the runoff to water management are presented by the researchers that are widely used in hydrologic sciences. in this study by using observational data, was evaluated empirical, artificial neural network (ann) and ca-active neuro-fuzzy inference system (canfis) models in estimation of runoff. for this purpose, by using climatic and phy...

Many Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been developed using different Artificial Intelligence techniques. In this paper we propose to use Reinforcement Learning for building an intelligent tutoring system to teach autistic students, who can't communicate well with others. In reinforcement learning, a policy is updated for taking appropriate action to teach the student. The main advantage of usi...

Safely avoiding accident prone routes is vital to maintaining safe and intelligent transportation. Real-time crowd sourcing of accident causing factors (e.g., icy roads, rain slicked road patches) combined with historical accident information can be utilized by intelligent navigation systems to avoid accident prone routes. A vehicle cloud can compute such safe routes and react faster than a cen...

Establishing and maintaining proper internal controls is an essential, ongoing, and complex process for today's organizations. Even though managers are ultimately responsible for ensuring internal control, they are typically not well versed in internal control principles. The literature contains no example of an intelligent system deployed to assist managers in recognizing potential problems in...

This paper presents FAETHON, a distributed information system that offers enhanced search and retrieval capabilities to users interacting with digital audiovisual (a/v) archives. Its novelty primarily originates in the unified intelligent access to heterogeneous a/v content. The paper emphasizes the features that provide enhanced search and retrieval capabilities to users, as well as intelligen...

A kind of wireless video transmission intelligence surveillance system is developed to perform work normally done by human being in hazardous environment, narrow space, as well as chemical and toxic places. This system consists of two main parts: a host computer with monitoring software and a mobile intelligent vehicle. The host computer software can provide real-time display of video, temperat...
