Language learning resources are constantly evolving alongside technology. One of such resources is REAP.PT, a system which aims to raise users proficiency in the Portuguese language in an interactive manner. Its current features include text-based exercises. This paper describes the evolution of REAP.PT aiming on locative prepositions used to describe the spatial position between objects. In th...

The predominant mechanisms for helping users find products in electronic catalogs are hierarchical navigation and text-based searches. Advanced electronic product catalogs also offer support for feature-based search or interactive product configuration. However, these search mechanisms are only appropriate if the space of products to be presented conforms to a number of simplifying restrictions...

This paper discusses the applications of Fuzzy Boolean Programming (FBP) problems for representing and reasoning with Propositional Knowledge. The use of the models provided by the FBP are proposed to answer imprecise questions in precisely stated KBS. Also, the advantages of using Fuzzy Boolean Programming instead of classical ones are presented in the framework of Propositional Knowledge.

This paper presents a prototype of case-based reasoning, built for the agricultural domain. Its aim is to forecast the allocation of a new energy crop, the miscanthus. Interviews were conducted with french farmers in order to know how they make their decisions. Based on interview analysis, a case base and a rule base have been formalized, together with similarity and adaptation knowledge. Furth...

background: cancer registries are important infrastructure for cancer control programs. however most developing countries lack population based cancer registry. in iran there cancer incidence is estimated based on pathology-based cancer registry. in this study we evaluated results of the nationwide pathology-based cancer registry in iran. materials and methods: we compared age-standardized inci...

In this paper, we give a survey on the AI-field Configuration. Because configuration of software-intensive systems is currently seen as a main challenge for knowledge-based configuration, this topic is emphasized. Main challenges related to this topic are next to others: softwareintensive applications, combining of configuration, modeling and evolution of software components, integration of kno...

How does someone react when he faces a critical situation in his life? In this paper we present an agent-based model for simulating people’s behaviors in those particular situations. Coping strategies are at the heart of our model and we use some strategies developed in the area of psychology. We show the first step of our implementation architecture. We are currently implementing our model by ...
