Background: Identifying mental disorder biomarkers is one of the leading goals of the clinical science. Objectives: This study aimed to provide an artificial intelligence based solution and software program to diagnose the type and severity of mental disorders according to the quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) of patients. Materials and Methods: The QEEG data collected from 45 patients ...

Good software cost prediction is important for effective project management such as budgeting, project planning and control. In this paper, we present an intelligent approach to software cost prediction. By integrating the neuro-fuzzy technique with the well-accepted COCOMO model, our approach can make the best use of both expert knowledge and historical project data. Its major advantages inclu...

The most significant activity in software development is to develop projects within confined time and budget. As accuracy plays a vital role for software system. Prediction of effort estimation is one of the critical tasks required for developing software. In this paper we perform the performance study of fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm to make an intelligent application for the purpose of pr...

Issues of pragmatics and usability motivate our starting point and perspective on developing Intelligent Tutoring Systems tool. The advancement of AI methods and techniques makes understanding of ITSs more difficult, so that the teachers are less and less prepared to accept these systems. As a result, the gap between the researchers in the field of ITSs and the educational community is constant...

There is a growing focus on how to design safe artificial intelligent (AI) agents. As systems become more complex, poorly specified goals or control mechanisms may cause AI agents to engage in unwanted and harmful outcomes. Thus it is necessary to design AI agents that follow initial programming intentions as the program grows in complexity. How to specify these initial intentions has also been...

Dimming fluorescent lamps is an attractive feature that provides mood and brightness effects as well as having tremendous energy savings potential. Designing a dimmable electronic ballast, however, is a complicated and challenging task. This paper presents an overview for designing a dimming electronic ballast for a T5 35W lamp. Lamp requirements, dimming control methods, and resonant output st...
