The shortening of product realization times and the increase of product complication require multidisciplinary experts to cooperate dynamically and closely in the whole product development lifecycle, behavior that has been previously unfamiliar. To further improve the design cooperation efficiency under this environment, this paper presents a novel cooperative design architecture using revoluti...

expert systems are computer programs that make the knowledge of experts available when a human expert is not with in easy reach. the systems are to simulate the thinking and inference pattern of human being. the ultimate goal of expert system is to be analogous to human as much as possible. utilizing the intelligent system in commerce is indispensable for establishing a better connection with c...

Sanda M. Harabagiu Dan I. Moldovan University of Southern California Southern Methodist University Los Angeles, CA 90089-2562 Dallas, Texas 75275-0122 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper introduces a system intended for question answering based on abductive inference. The system uses a large knowledge base structured around WordNet. Texts and questions are uniformly proce...

Complex processes involve many process variables, and operators faced with the tasks of monitoring, control, and diagnosis of these processes often find it difficult to effectively monitor the process data, analyse current states, detect and diagnose process anomalies, or take appropriate actions to control the processes. The complexity can be rendered more manageable provided important underly...

In this paper, a framework of a unified neural and neuro-fuzzy approach to integrate implicit and explicit knowledge in hybrid intelligent systems is presented. In the developed hybrid system, training data used for neural and neuro-fuzzy models represents implicit domain knowledge. On the other hand, the explicit domain knowledge is represented by fuzzy rules, directly mapped into equivalent c...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

Over the last ten years we have created a theoretical framework for domain-oriented design environments (DODEs), developed several prototypes and assessed them in real-world settings. DODEs are knowledge-based systems that emphasize a human-centered and domain-oriented approach. Used as intelligent support systems, they facilitate collaboration and communication among humans as well as between ...

The increased use of intelligent decision support systems has created a demand for efficient acquisition, implementation and maintenance of the knowledge required by such systems. The field of knowledge level modelling has developed as a means to this end. This has led to the construction of methodologies for KBS development that facilitate a generic approach to knowledge acquisition. Such gene...

abstract:             partial knowledge is one of the main factors to take into account when dealing with the improvement of administration of multiple choice questions (mcq). various strategies have been proposed for this factor in traditional testing environment. so this study proposed a confidence based assessment (cba) as a sufficient solution & want to compare the effect of cba scoring sys...
