The concept of an intelligent software agent has emerged from its origins in artificial intelligence laboratories to become an important basis for the development of distributed systems in the mainstream computer science community. This paper provides a review of some of the ideas behind the intelligent agent approach and addresses the question “what is an agent?” Some principle application are...

Despite the fact that the origin of software agent systems has been rooted in autonomous artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology, their implementations are still based on conventional imperative computing techniques rather than autonomous computational intelligence. This paper presents a cognitive informatics perspective on autonomous agent systems (AAS’s). A hierarchical reference mod...

Educational technology constitutes an important aspect in modern education providing unique learning experiences to students and improving their learning. Technological resources (especially computers) have been integrated in education for decades. However, integration of educational technology in early childhood education is a more recent trend compared to the other levels of education. This f...

Over the past decade, the automotive industry has made many efforts to improve the comfort and first and foremost the safety of passenger cars. So-called driver assistance systems have been developed, which support the driver in his task of controlling (steering, breaking ...) a vehicle. Present-day assistance systems are entrusted with complex driving manoeuvres and are expected to operate cor...

The design and construction of virtual reality environments involve technologies such as computer graphics, image processing, pattern recognition, intelligent interface, artificial intelligence, voice recognition, network, parallel processing, and high-performance computing. Some researchers insist that object-oriented and agent-oriented technologies are fundamental for virtual reality system d...

In the era of the Internet of Things and Big Data, data scientists are required to extract valuable knowledge from the given data. This challenging task is not straightforward. Data scientists first analyze, cure and pre-process data. Then, they apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to automatically extract knowledge from data. However, nowadays the focus is set on knowledge representat...

The License Plate Recognition (LPR) as one crucial part of intelligent traffic systems has been broadly investigated since the boosting of computer vision techniques. The motivation of this paper is to probe in plate number recognition which is an important part of traffic surveillance events. In this paper, locating the number plate is based on edge detection and recognizing the plate numbers ...
