The problem of evaluation of advisory system quality is studied. Specifically, 18 advisory strategies for operators of a cold rolling mill were designed using different modelling assumptions. Since some assumptions may be more appropriate in different working regimes, we also design a new advising strategy based on the on-line merging of advices. In order to measure actual suitability of the ad...

In this system, the medical experts generate the prescription by using the information received from the patient in the form of photographs and text. The medical expert advice is delivered to the patient on a regular basis (typically twice in a week depending on the type of diseases) . It has been found that the medical exp...

Digital personal fabrication refers to the creation of products using ICT-tools by individuals. In order to support the users of such tools who are untrained in design, it is necessary to develop a support system that makes it possible to use expert knowledge on designing products. For this study, we selected 26 items from the values that are considered important for design (e.g., unique, moder...

The book is a comprehensive guide for those who would like to design their own web-based instructional materials. It is not a scholarly work discussing theoretical issues or results of scientific research. It is written for practitioners who need advice in their design efforts. Thus, the author suggests that the user should not read the book in the conventional sense of starting with the first ...

This article investigates the usability of a navigation support tool, which guides learners by generating advice on the next best step to take in a self-study e-learning course. The article draws on log data and responses from online questionnaires to provide insights into learners’ evaluation of the tool, their adherence to the advice and their expectations of self-efficacy. The theoretical un...

This means advice-seeking may be followed by something other than advice, without it being treated problematic. study investigates such instances Reddit, utilizing Conversation Analytic concep...

Ko Ko83] proved that the P-selective sets are in the advice class P/quadratic. We prove that the P-selective sets are in NP=linear T coNP=linear. We show this to be optimal in terms of the amount of advice needed.

‘If you go to Ferran Adria’s restaurant you will have the time of your life!’ ‘If you study everyday for two hours you will get very good marks next semester.’ These are examples of advice. We say an advice has two components: a plan to perform and a goal to achieve. In dynamic logic, an advice could be formalised as: [Pη]G. That is, if η performs plan P, then goal G will necessarily be achieve...
