Essential for the success of FAQ systems is their ability to systematically manage knowledge including the intelligent retrieval of useful FAQ documents and the continuous evolution of the knowledge base. Based on our experiences, we propose a hybrid approach for the management of FAQ documents on programming languages written in Portuguese, Spanish or other latin languages. The approach integr...

Flora-2 is a rule-based object-oriented knowledge base system designed for a variety of automated tasks on the Semantic Web, ranging from meta-data management to information integration to intelligent agents. The Flora-2 system integrates F-logic, HiLog, and Transaction Logic into a coherent knowledge representation and inference language. The result is a flexible and natural framework that com...

Human-based quality control reduces the accuracy of this process. Also, the speed of decision making in some industries is very important. For removing these limitations in human-based quality control, in this paper, the design of an expert system for automatic and intelligent quality control is investigated. In fact, using an intelligent system, the accuracy in quality control is increased. It...

Autonomous intelligent robotic systems that can survive in dynamic changing environments have yet to be realized. The robot must process incoming information, make decisions, and learn from previous actions concurrently and in real time. Reliance on one all-encompassing system with one overburdened processor, no matter how fast, makes this goal unreachable. One of the primary reasons the goal i...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is a kind of diabetes that requires persistent medical care in patient self management education to prevent acute complications. one of the common and main problems in diagnosis of the diabetes is the weakness in its initial stages of the illness. this paper intends to propose an expert system in order to diagnose the risk of gdm by using fis model. the knowl...

kind, imposing constraints upon the possible organizations of intelligent systems rather than upon their material substrates. Intelligent systems, according to this argument, will necessarily be symbol systems, and at the level of goal-oriented activity, they will be serial in operation with, narrow attentional focus. Empirically Observed Invariants However adaptive are the intelligent systems ...

In order to expand research about the learning of the programming, it has done a research that involved as strategy of analysis about new instructional options, development of an Intelligent Collaborative Virtual Environment (EVCI). In this paper we describe an EVCI architecture, particularly the Knowledge Base of Expert System, which is integrated to EVC as a component. The main features of Ex...

In this paper we have applied an interval representation of time to represent and reason about activities, events, actions and situations relevant to the construction domain. The first part of the paper formally defines the situational simulation environment and develops a set of temporal axioms which can be used to 1) Express precedence constraints between time intervals and 2) Capture the cau...

This paper presents a rule-based intelligent design reasoning approach to support dynamic collaborative design. The architecture of the design knowledge base intends to assist product R&D, facilitate design verification and integrate collaborative efforts among members of the design team, which may include suppliers and customers. To avoid the drawbacks of the traditional sequential product dev...

The software architecture [SA] has received increasing attention as an important subfield of software engineering. The Software Architecture is the foundation for building any software and it is deciding the quality of software. Evaluating Software Architecture is a key part in software development. This paper intends to increase the consistency of software architecture evaluation process to a ...
