Collaboration in the information seeking and retrieval environment is common, particularly when the search task is complex and exploratory. Multiple factors such as contextual features and task type can affect users’ query behavior. This paper presents a study investigating the effects of collaboration and task types on users’ query behavior. The study involves two conditions: collaborative sea...

Our aim is to sketch the boundaries of a parallel track in the evolution of robotic forms that is radically different from any previously attempted. To do this we will first describe the motivation for doing so and then the strategy for achieving it. Along the way, it will become clear that the machines we design and build are not robots in any traditional sense. They are not machines designed ...

the aim of artificial intelligence is to discover mechanisms of adaptation in a changing environment with utilisation of intelligence, for instance in the ability to exclude unlikely solutions. artificial intelligence methods have extensive application in different fields such as medicine, games, transportation, or heavy industry. this paper deals with interdisciplinary issues – interconnection...

In the intelligence domain, the collection and processing of information and intelligence from multiple Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sources (including sensors, human, open sources, etc.) is essential to produce actionable intelligence of high value in order to counter threat. In current practice, the outputs of different sources are more often separated from one another ...

Abstract Industrial robots are increasingly being used in machining tasks because of their high flexibility and intelligence. However, the low structural stiffness a robot significantly affects its positional accuracy quality operation equipment. Studying characteristics optimization methods is an effective method improving performance robot. Accordingly, aiming at poor modeling caused by appro...

Nowadays the interest in Ambient Intelligence Environments has grown considerably due to new challenges posed by the evolution of society requirements to more friendly environments. Ambient Intelligence technology is not fully developed and integrated in everyday life, but a lot of organisations are interested in it. On the other hand, Aspect Oriented Software Development is considered a growin...
