This article overviews the concepts of distributed intelligence, outlining the motivations for studying this field of research. First, common systems of distributed intelligence are classified based upon the types of interactions exhibited, since the type of interaction has relevance to…

Early informatics focused primarily on the application of technology and computer science to a specific domain; modern informatics has broadened to encompass human and knowledge dimensions. Application of technology is but one aspect of informatics. Understanding domain members’ issues, priorities,…

This paper presents several computer related techniques that encourage EDG students to develop knowledge at levels 4 and 5 of Bloom's taxonomy.  These knowledge levels are associated with generalized problem solving in undergraduates and research capabilities in graduate students.  The…

Cataloguing biological specimen is a important activity of biological museums world over. Software developed especially for this purpose have evolved overtime to achieve more accuracy in retrieving data from large and diverse datasets. Combining smaller datasets in to a larger…

Historically, design representation and verification was relegated to engineering drawings and other manual methods that were used to convey information for product design, analysis, and manufacturing.  Because of the rapid development and implementation of relatively low cost and extremely powerful…

Purpose – Faced with increasing environmental problems, traditional methods for transmitting information regarding corporate environmental actions are insufficient. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to suggest the environmental capital report, the knowledge map and the balanced scorecard as alternative…

Abstract: This paper analyses the legal validity of three declared archipelagic sea lanes (ASL’s) established to enable maritime transit through Indonesia’s archipelago. It examines the process by which the ASL’s were announced and adopted and whether the process used was…

In this paper, we present SEDiL, a Software for Edit Distance Learning. SEDiL is an innovative prototype implementation grouping together most of the state of the art methods that aim to automatically learn the parameters of string and tree edit…

In this article we present a generalized dynamic argumentation framework that handles arguments expressed in an abstract language assumed to be some first order logic fragment. Once the formalism is presented, we propose a reification to the description logic ALC…
