Chance, design and discovery.

Web Intelligence and Chance Discovery

Web Intelligence deals with the scientific research and development to explore the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of soft computing and advanced intelligent paradigms for the next generation of Web-based systems, services, and environments. Chance discovery means discovering chances — the breaking points in systems, the marketing windows in business, etc. It involves determining...

Design of Bulletin Board System for Online Chance Discovery Process

A bulletin board system (BBS) equipped with KeyGraph is proposed for supporting online chance discovery process. While conventional meeting for chance discovery with KeyGraph requires participants to meet in a meeting room, the paper aims to expand the discussion space over the Internet. In order to support online chance discovery process, the BBS has functions for assisting a user in writing s...

Cognitive Relevance and Chance Discovery

We propose a formal theory to capture qualitatively the characteristics of utility-relevance and effect-uncertainty of chance. It sets a definite boundary between chance discovery and classical artificial intelligence planning: the former pursues partial realization of desire while the latter complete realization. The theory also provides a formal specification and deriving machinery for partia...

Methodological Considerations on Chance Discovery

This paper investigates the methodological foundations of a new research field called chance discovery which aims to detect future opportunities and risks. By drawing on concepts from cybernetics and system theory, it is argued that chance discovery best applies to open systems that are equipped with regulatory mechanisms to approximate an ‘ideal’ state. We will motivate anticipation as an addi...
