This paper presents a proposal enabling the modelling of manufacturing processes independently of the structure and composition of the industrial plant where these processes will ultimately be implemented. The rationale for the proposal is in the incorporation of knowledge, supported…

Background: Despite the existence of ample literature dealing, on the one hand, with the integration of innovations within health systems and team learning, and, on the other hand, with different aspects of the detection and management of intimate partner violence…

This article reviews the most significant milestones
in CAD methodologies for intelligent EM-based modeling and
design optimization using artificial neural networks and space
mapping. We consider knowledge-based and automatic neural
network model generation based on advanced data sampling
algorithms. Computationally…

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

This thesis confronts the nature of the process of learning an intellectual skill, the ability to solve problems efficiently in a particular domain of discourse. The investigation is synthetic; a computational performance model, HACKER, is displayed. Hacker is a computer…

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…

O presente artigo apresenta uma proposta para o ensino de Termodinâmica que tem como ponto de partida as idéias intuitivas dos estudantes. A apresentação dos resultados de investigações sobre a compreensão e “enganos” dos estudantes nos leva a sugerir que…

The number and scope of faculty and institutions involved in academic entrepreneurship continues to expand, and this has signifi cant implications for universities, involving potentially wonderful opportunities but also dire risks. This paper looks beyond academic capitalism, a theory that…

The Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) is a pilot track within the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2006. The AVE competition provides an evaluation frame-
work for answer validations in Question Answering (QA). In our participation in AVE, we propose a system…

As stated at the start of this article, psychological and physical demand states can be understood as the effects and consequences caused by loads. To deduce the physiological characteristics of psychophysical demand, theoretical concepts like the load/demand concept are commonly…
