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…

Two of the funerary orations of Hyrtakenos (XIVth century) reveal his knowledge of Nonnus' Dionysiaca; these join other testimonies to the popularity of Nonnus in the late Byzantine period and the Renaissance.

Résumé : Dans un contexte de pratiques éducatives en renouvellement, la recherche participative étudie l’apport d’un environnement d’apprentissage hybride pour l’analyse réflexive de stagiaires en enseignement secondaire. Des analyses qualitatives et quantitatives descriptives illustrent le potentiel des dispositifs mis en…

Reactions of students in helping professions to domestic violence were examined with respect to whether or not the students had any training in domestic violence. One hundred, four students read one of two vignettes describing a domestic violence case and…

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…

The effectiveness of computer-based learning environments depends on learners’ deployment of metacognitive and self-regulatory processes. Analysis of transmitted messages in a context of Computer Mediated Communication can provide a source of information on metacognitive activity. However, existing models or frameworks…

Argumentation systems have substantially evolved in the past few years, resulting in adequate tools to model
some forms of common sense reasoning. This has sprung a new set of argument-based applications in diverse
areas.
In previous work, we defined how…

This paper describes an adaptive and autocalibrated method to track surfaces. To do so, a non time
dependent impedance control system is proposed. This method fuses visual and force information to track a
given trajectory maintaining the contact with the…

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…

Most of the current wireless sensor networks are built for specific applications, with a tight coupling between them and the underlying communication protocols. We present a more flexible architectural approach for building WSNs, in which application-specific features are decoupled from…
