Natural Language Processing (NLP) provides tools to extract explicitly stated information from text documents. These tools include Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Parts-Of-Speech (POS). The extracted information represents discrete entities in the text and some relationships that may exist among them. To perform intelligent analysis on the extracted information a context has to exist in whic...

The aim of this paper is to present an authoring environment dedicated to the development of curriculum and course that can be handled by Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). The adopted curriculum model is CREAM (Curriculum Representation and Acquisition Model) which represents subject-matter content from the domain, the pedagogical and the didactic points of view. The authoring environment, cal...

Our everyday environments are gradually becoming intelligent, facilitated both by technological development and user activities. Although large-scale intelligent environments are still rare in actual everyday use, they have been studied for quite a long time, and several user studies have been carried out. In this paper, we present a user-centric view of intelligent environments based on publis...

In this note a general approach to designing distributed systems based on coupling existing software tools is presented and illustrated by two examples. Utilization of this approach to the development of intelligent ODE solver is also described.

Nowadays, Human Resource Information System (HRIS) plays a strategic role in the decision making process for effective and efficient Human Resource Management (HRM). For Human Resource (HR) decision making, most of the researchers propose expert systems or knowledge-based systems. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in both of expert system and knowledge-based system. In this paper, we ha...

In this paper, we introduce the ROADMAP meta-model, designed to describe intelligent adaptive systems in open environments, using agent concepts such as roles. Developing intelligent adaptive systems creates new challenges in engineering software quality attributes such as correctness and reliability. The ROADMAP meta-model captures our understanding of properties of intelligent adaptive system...

Intelligent tutoring systems are quite difficult and time intensive to develop. In this paper, we describe a method and set of software tools that ease the process of cognitive task analysis and tutor development by allowing the author to demonstrate, instead of programming, the behavior of an intelligent tutor. We focus on the subset of our tools that allow authors to create “Pseudo Tutors” th...

Debugging is hard. Each program bug brings its own particular problems, but there are usually three basic steps that a programmer must perform. These common steps are: (1) understanding something about the failure and the program being debugged, (2) finding the error in the program, and (3) correcting the error. Tools to assist in this process vary from providing virtually no assistance to inte...
