In this paper, we explore the use of metaphors for people working with artificial intelligence, in particular those that support designers thinking about creation AI systems. Metaphors both illuminate and hide, simplifying connecting to existing knowledge, centring ideas, marginalising others, shaping fields practice. The practices machine learning intelligence draw heavily on metaphors, whethe...

This chapter provides an overview of the technical and social issues of CVEs and their impact on designers. The development of CVEs has lead to new ways for designers to collaborate and new kinds of places for designers to design. As a new technology for collaborative design, CVEs impact the collaborative process by facilitating movement between working together and working individually. As new...

Preface The best algorithm designers prove both possibility and impossibility results — both upper and lower bounds. For example, every serious computer scientist knows a collection of canonical NP-complete problems and how to reduce them to other problems of interest. Communication complexity offers a clean theory that is extremely useful for proving lower bounds for lots of different fundamen...

Due to the wide spread of power electronics equipment in modern electrical systems, the increase of the harmonics disturbance in the ac mains currents has became a major concern due to the adverse effects on all equipment. This paper presents the analysis and simulation using Matlab Simulink of a three-phase four wire neutral clamped active power filter (APF) compensating the harmonics and reac...

This manuscript analyzes the effects of design parameters, such as aspect ratio, doping concentration and bias, on the performance of a general CMOS Hall sensor, with insight on current-related sensitivity, power consumption, and bandwidth. The article focuses on rectangular-shaped Hall probes since this is the most general geometry leading to shape-independent results. The devices are analyzed...

paper undertakes software based numerical simulations in two different traditional houses in cold-dry climate of tabriz and hot-arid climate of yazd, the eco test software chosen for bim simulations. case study on real houses instead of hypothetical models can give more tangible results and choosing traditional houses can provide a good opportunity to compare both physical and thermal condition...

This paper describes using breakdown [24] in players’ use of video games to analyze the learnability of these games. This paper emphasizes the importance of two levels of breakdown that support (breakdown of interaction) and break immersion (breakdown of illusion) in games respectively [17]. I conducted a study to investigate learning in games. From this study, I constructed a framework of nine...

As more and more online stores are providing customers with overwhelming information while the companies still faces the problem of turning browsers into actual buyers, the online recommender systems have been adopted to facilitate product search and personalized recommendations. The study will compare the persuasiveness of two different online recommender systems and the influence of product i...

Creative designers often see solutions to pending design problems in the everyday objects surrounding them. This can often lead to innovation and insight, sometimes revealing new functions and purposes for common design pieces in the process. We are interested in modeling serendipitous recognition of solutions to pending problems in the context of creative mechanical design. This paper characte...

Processing is a programming language and environment targeted at artists and designers. It is used in various environments for different purposes, from scientific data visualization to art installations. This paper is comprised of two parts. The purpose of the first part is to provide an insight into Processing and its community as well as to showcase some projects that were created using Proce...
