Building services supporting collaboration between users in CSCW-type and Workflow-type activities present high challenges for the design. We investigate in this paper the application of intelligent agent principles to cope with all difficulties.

Decomposition analysis is useful method to determine significant factors contribute towards the development of energy consumption. This paper presents factors decomposition of electricity consumption in Indonesia’s household sector using artificial intelligent method. The proposed artificial intelligent technique used in this study is the Neuro Fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno (NFTS) network, which is worke...

Personality traits have been widely studied in the context of collaboration in human teams. Research has shown that the personality traits of team members affect the team’s common understanding and hence the overall performance. Although there is much research on Human-Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA), teamwork, designing IVAs with personality traits that support the development of a human-IVA s...

Nowadays, there is a need for smart learning environments that offer personal services with capabilities to learn, reason, have autonomy and be totally dynamic. In this paper, we present X-Learn: a new e-learning environment we have designed to simplify the authoring and visualization of multimedia courses. X-Learn includes several intelligent assistants to help the teacher and the student duri...
