Ensuring flexible and efficient manufacturing of customized products in an increasing dynamic and turbulent environment without sacrificing cost effectiveness, product quality and on-time delivery has become a key issue for most industrial enterprises. A promising approach to cope with this…

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…

Metrics used on development of expert systems is not a well investigated problem area. This article suggests some metrics to be used to measure the maturity of the conceptualization process and the complexity of the decision process in the problem…

In this paper we present an e ective prover for mbC, a minimal inconsistency logic. The mbC logic is a paraconsistent logic of the family of logics of formal inconsistency. Paraconsistent logics have several philosophical motivations as well as many…

Searching for information in databases or on the world wide web to enhance our knowledge has become an everyday task. The internet is a major source of information for education. When we want to make new material available in digital…

Current reasoning systems attempt to model an agent's knowledge and interaction with its environment in a symbolic manner. This environment, its world is generally dynamic and changing due to natural evolution or the actions of other agents that are a…

Associating the pattern in text data with the pattern with time series data is a novel task. In this paper, an approach that utilizes the features of the time series data and domain knowledge is proposed and used to identify…

The purpose of this paper is to describe how some theorems about constructions in categories can be seen as a way of doing generic programming. No prior knowledge of category theory is required to understand the paper.
We explore the…

We have developed a distributed DSS able to work in a dynamic way. This system is based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's queries and visit the DSS domains gathering the required information. One of the…

Adaptive systems behavior based on user models appear promising, mostly for complex environments such as mixed reality environments (MRE).
An MRE comprises a virtual representation of the reality as well as physical objects augmented with virtual features. These objects are…
