Networked computing has become a popular method for using parallelism to solve a variety of computa-tionally intense problems. However, high communication costs and processor heterogeneity may limit performance unless the problem space is carefully partitioned. We propose a decomposition advisory system that is designed to help choose the best data partitioning strategy. The goal of this resear...

In many domains, a large variety of comparable products and services from different manufacturers is available on the market. As a result, customers are increasingly overwhelmed when they have to choose the products that match their personal needs and preferences because the selection process in many cases requires deep technical knowledge about the product features. In the online sales channel...

This research paper presents the development of a fuzzy-logic advisory system to assist smallmedium size companies (SMEs) as a decision support tool for implementing lean manufacturing. The system is developed using fuzzy logic rules, with a combination of research methodology approaches employed in the research study that included data collection from ten manufacturing SMEs through documentati...

The rights and duties of both staff members and students are regulated by a large and different numbers of legal regulations and rules. This large number of rules and regulations makes the decision-making process time consuming and error boring. Smart advisory systems could provide rapid and accurate advices to managers and give the arguments for these advices. This paper presents an intelligen...

Appearance of new services in facility management is possible only due to efficient usage of informational potential present in modern buildings. Such services (knowledge-based services) use information that is already present among the general data. Efficient usage of this information requires a close connection between the building automation and building management. This connection is carrie...

Advisory systems as a part of the software which user can call when he is unsure about what to do next in a given situation based on collected data, through expert knowledge in certain area of interset for process optimisation. Advisory systems should be the ones which are actively asking questions to the operator, performing computations, and should ultimately provide an answer. In a statistic...
