Decision tree learning algorithms have been successfully used in knowledge discovery. They use induction in order to provide an appropriate classification of objects in terms of their attributes, inferring decision tree rules. This paper reports on the use of ID3…

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks.

This paper provides lessons learned and some unexpected transformations in the learning process when advanced collaboration technology was used to overcome limitations of a popular, existing collaboration technology. The activities pursued in these advanced undergraduate and graduate computer and information…

Personalization of web sites has become an important issue in web modeling methods. Many of these methods use similar approaches to specify personalization. However even with similar (personalization) requirements the resulting implementations differ. The consequence is that we cannot reuse…

Distance learning courses need intensive planning that, in turn, requires the integration of knowledge and expertise in different areas and levels such as curriculum, ICTs and course management. This paper presents an integrated approach for distance learning course planning that…

Gilbert Ryle (1949) divided knowledge into “know that” and “know how”, which is neatly appealing to many design and technology educators, and like many writers on developing the curriculum, Kahney (1993) made a distinction between declarative knowledge:

verbal knowledge,…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

(cont.) In this blurred area, a project/group-based curriculum can be developed to involve casual work areas that can fluctuate in size, based on the specifications of the project. Through the cultivation of this type of environment, the social energies of…

Objective – Evidence based library and information services help to link best evidence with decision making in library practice. Current library and information science practice operates in both a knowledge and evidence-based environment. Health service librarians provide information services in…
