The CourseMaster CBA System:

چکیده
While teaching in all its forms can sometimes be fun, for most people marking student work is tedious, boring and in general hard work. A courseware system is presented that not only provides on-line support for courses, but importantly can automatically assess student work. CourseMaster can mark several types of coursework in a non-trivial manner. That is, criteria can be set against which the work is thoroughly assessed. Specifically, the system is particularly effective at marking computer programs in several languages including Java and C++. It can also mark diagrams and assist in the marking of essays. In addition to marking, the system also supports the provision of lecture notes and web pages and links. It can be used to collect any on-line work and enforce deadlines. Finally, it provides a suite of webbased tools that allow the easy management of courses. CourseMaster has been used "live" at Nottingham with great success for three years and is based on the earlier Ceilidh system which was developed and used over the preceding ten years.

متن کاملConstraint - Based Agents : The ABC ' s of CBA ' sAlan
The Constraint-Based Agent (CBA) framework is a set of tools for designing, simulating, building, verifying, optimizing, learning and debugging controllers for agents embedded in an active environment. The agent and the environment are modelled symmetrically as, possibly hybrid, dynamical systems in Constraint Nets, as developed by Zhang and Mackworth. This paper is a tutorial overview of the d...

For more than three decades cost-benefit analysis (CBA) has been used in many countries as an important tool for evaluating public policies. More recently, participation of stakeholders in CBA processes has become an important issue for governments. However, CBA by itself does not provide a good environment for stakeholder participation. A major reason for this is the lack of spatial disaggrega...
متن کاملFlexible Demonstration Learning System for Variable Number of Robots
In this paper, we present flexMLfD, a robot independent and task independent demonstration learning system that supports a variable number of robot learners. Our approach is based on the Confidence-Based Autonomy (CBA) demonstration learning algorithm, which provides the means for a single robot to learn a task policy through interaction with a human teacher. The generalized representation and ...
