The notion of an intelligent product calls for research into suitability for integration as it aims for coordination and integration on an unprecedented scale. This is particularly challenging where it affects the core businesses of companies. Moreover, these integration issues go well beyond IT interoperability. This paper presents a novel concept the intelligent being as a means to achieve su...

Although there is still no killer application identified for Mobile and Intelligent Agents, today Agent technology is considered to form an important part of flexible middleware platforms. A main issue in this context is the integration of Mobile and Intelligent Agent Technology, as well as Distributed Object Technology, e.g., the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). This is parti...

Intelligent multi-agent systems are currently used for a variety of purposes, both in research and for real-world applications. One of their most interesting, yet not fully explored uses, is as frameworks to support computerbased simulations of virtual worlds inhabited by life-like entities, that is, intelligent virtual environments, for purposes of education, demonstration and entertainment. T...

Exchange rate fluctuation has a significant effect on the risk of marketing business, economic development and financial stability. Accurate prediction for exchange rate may reduce commercial and economic risk arisen by exchange rate fluctuation. In this study, we propose an intelligent approach to the forecasting problem of the CNY-USD exchange rate, where a neurofuzzy self-organizing system i...

This paper presents the methodology for conducting controlled experiment replication, as well as, the results of a controlled experiment and an internal replication that investigated the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system. Since, there doesn’t seem to be a common ground on guidelines for the replication of experiments in intelligent tutoring system’s educational influence evaluatio...

Aiming at the demand of production management of power system, a new intelligent key system applied to substation is created and established. Based on the operating mode of the system, the paper puts forward the design of intelligent key based on RFID technology. It expounds the hardware of the system, which adopts advanced ARM technology to develop an intelligent key system, combined with RF s...

Contemporary intelligent systems are isolated problem-solvers. They accept particular classes of problems, reason about them, perhaps request additional information, and eventually produce solutions. By contrast, human beings and other intelligent animals continuously adapt to the demands and opportunities presented by a dynamic environment. Adaptation plays a critical role in everyday behavior...

An intelligent interface for an information retrieval system has the aims of controlling an underlying information retrieval system di rectly interacting with the user and allowing him to retrieve relevant information without the support of a human intermediary Developing intelligent interfaces for information retrieval is a di cult activity and no well established models of the functions that ...

In this paper, we present our position on user experience methods for designing and evaluating intelligent environments in a user assistance context; a combination of narrative interviews, a scenario-based approach and finally Wizard-of-Oz prototyping. Users typically do not have any experience with intelligent environments, making it difficult to reliably assess user experience with such syste...

Learning is the long process of transforming information as well as experience into knowledge, skills, attitude and behaviors. To make up the wide gap between the demand of increasing higher education and comparatively limited resources, more and more educational institutes are looking into instructional technology. Use of online resources not only reduces the cost of education but also meet th...
