چکیده

The need to interpret imprecise diagrams (those with malformed, missing or extraneous features) occurs in the automated assessment of diagrams. We outline our proposal for an architecture to enable the interpretation of imprecise diagrams. We discuss our preliminary work on an assessment tool, developed within this architecture, for automatically grading answers to a computer architecture examination question. Early indications are that performance is similar to that of human markers. We will be using Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) as the primary application area for our investigation of automated assessment. This paper will detail our reasons for choosing this area and outline the work ahead.

An automated entity-relationship clustering algorithm for conceptual database design

Entity–relationship (ER) modeling is a widely accepted technique for conceptual database design. However, the complexities inherent in large ER diagrams have restricted the effectiveness of their use in practice. It is often difficult for end-users, or even for well-trained database engineers and designers, to fully understand and properly manage large ER diagrams. Hence, to improve their under...

An Automated Forecasting Tool (AFT) achieved by clustering Entity Relationship Model

Entity–relationship (ER) modeling is basically a technique of creating model before the detail database is formed. One the ERM or Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is complete and correct then it is feasible to convert into database design directly. The database design will also be complete and correct, as it is based on verified ERM and ERD. To increase the usability and understandability of E...
