The difficulty of designing and developing intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) has caused a recent increase in the interest of the AI researchers in realization of some new approaches in that field. Issues of pragmatics and usability motivate our starting point and perspective on developing of ITSs tool called GET-BITS. Considering commercially available and widely used authoring systems for tr...

This work presents the electronic design of an intelligent device that includes a monitor system for automatic movements of a robotic hospital bed based on posture classification and identification. This feature was carried out in response to the necessities defined by the application of a diagnostic identification methodology. This method was successfully applied to a public Mexican hospital a...

Background: Diabetes mellitus has several complications. The Late diagnosis of diabetes in people leads to the spread of complications. Therefore, this study has been done to determine the possibility of predicting diabetes type 2 by using data mining techniques. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study that was conducted as a cross-sectional study. The study population included people re...

This paper presents a framework and a prototype for designing Integrated Construction Management ~ICM! software applications using reusable components. The framework supports the collaborative development of ICM software applications by a group of ICM application developers from a library of software components. The framework focuses on the use of an explicit software development process to cap...

Designing intelligent paradigms using evolutionary algorithms is getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real world problems involving complexity, noisy environment, imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. In this Chapter, we illustrate the various possibilities for designing intelligent systems using evolutionary algorithms and also present some of the generic evolutionar...

Objective: International Diabetes Organization estimates that there are 285 million people worldwide who suffer from diabetes, and this figure is expected to increase to 450 million in next 20 years. According to statistics issued by the World Health Organization, diabetes is considered among ten leading causes of death in world and its prevalence in the population is growing.This paper deals w...

Gaming the system, attempting to succeed in an interactive learning environment by exploiting properties of the system rather than by learning the material (for example, by systematically guessing or abusing hints), is prevalent across many types of educational software. Past research on why students choose to game has focused on student individual differences. Many student individual differenc...
