When developing sophisticated multi-agent systems whose behaviors include collaboration, negotiation, and conflict resolution, analyzing and (empirically) verifying agent system behavior is a challenging task. To aid the developer in such tasks, this paper presents an approach that combines two software engineering tools – the Tracer Tool and the TTL Checker, which together record agent activit...

Feel lonely? What about reading books? Book is one of the greatest friends to accompany while in your lonely time. When you have no friends and activities somewhere and sometimes, reading book can be a great choice. This is not only for spending the time, it will increase the knowledge. Of course the b=benefits to take will relate to what kind of book that you are reading. And now, we will conc...

The EDULAN project focuses in the field of Computer Assisted Learning and aims to generalize and translate to web-oriented technologies some results obtained previously on the Intelligent Tutoring Systems area. Particularly, four complementary research lines are being considered: knowledge acquisition tools for building Intelligent Tutoring Systems; adaptative and Web-oriented teaching/learning...

This paper describes problems, challenges, and opportunities for intelligent simulation of physical systems. Prototype intelligent simulation tools have been constructed for interpreting massive data sets from physical elds and for designing engineering systems. We identify the characteristics of intelligent simulation and describe several concrete application examples. These applications, whic...

In order to implement artificial intelligence, various technologies have been widely used. Artificial Intelligence is applied for many industrial products and machine tools are the center of manufacturing devices in intelligent manufacturing devices. The purpose of this paper is to present the design of Decision Support Agent that is applicable to machine tools. This system is that decision whe...

Intelligent information retrieval tools can help intelligence and security agencies to retrieve and exploit relevant information from unstructured information sources and give them insight into the criminal behavior and networks, in order to fight crime more efficiently and effectively. This article aims at analysing off-the-shelf information extraction tools on their applicability and competen...

This paper describes the research project OPTIMIST at the University of Skövde. The project is focused on the development and application of intelligent techniques for simulation-based optimisation of real-world industrial problems. A software environment called OPTIMISE which tightly integrates Discrete-Event Simulation systems with AIbased optimisation is developed within the project.

This paper describes the methods and instruments for semantic web navigator design which is a novel system providing semantic drive for Internet users. The solutions proposed rest on the statistical paradigm for knowledge extraction and the semantic presentations based on the Extended Semantic Networks (ESN) mechanism. The approach presented comprises rule-based and stochastic techniques for te...
