Conventional Artiicial Intelligence techniques such as expert systems have often been found to be too brittle for large-scale applications. Model-based reasoning is a technique for making Artiicial Intelligence software applicable to problems of realistic size. In this working group, we have investigated some fundamental issues in model-based reasoning and various applications in diagnosis, con...

Contemporary educational communications and technology have brought new ways for presentation of museum content. Advances in telecornmunlcations, computers, videography and printing are revolutlonlzing the grounds on which people encounter art, science, and culture. This techndoglcal change Is causing scientlsts and educators to re-think the formats for their material In our museums and, eventu...

Based on the concept of DNA strand displacement and DNA strand algebra we have developed a method for logical inference which is not based on silicon based computing. Essentially, it is a paradigm shift from silicon to carbon. In this paper we have considered the inference mechanism, viz. modus ponens, to draw conclusion from any observed fact. Thus, the present approach to logical inference ba...

In this paper we describe a formal model and a design based on that model of a system which offers knowledge-based support for both specification of the object of audit and specification of the planning of the audit of that object. This model can be compared to a Conceptual Model in the world of Information Systems. The object of audit includes databases containing auditee’s registrations of ec...

CAMEX is an expert system designed to plan machining processes for CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) cutting machines. At the present state of development it is constrained to parts for which 2 l/2 D description is sufficient. For this kinds of parts, CAMEX is able to read a drawing of a workpiece from an ordinary CAD file, to understand its 3-dimensional structure and generate a plan workpi...

Expert systems technology arose initially from problems of diagnosis or pattern recognition but there have been fewer examples of successful synthesis systems. Constructive expert systems address such problems, particularly the problem of design. Two example expert system are presented, one of which (DOLMEN) supports the preliminary design of high rise buildings, and the other (JSD Advisor), wh...

A cost-effective and mobile-based medical diagnostic tool was prototyped in this invention. The tool is an expert system that captures patient’s condition through a rich multimedia-based interface. On the basis of the captured information, the tool suggests a diagnosis and treatment for the patient. The tool is primarily meant to be used by trained healthcare workers in nonemergency situations ...

The author regrets to inform that there is a change in the affiliation details of Dr. Ibrahim Unal Sert and the correct one is given above.

In an audience driven approach to website design, the requirements of the different audiences are modeled as separated tiny conceptual schemas comparable to views. We present a new approach to integrate these conceptual views. The preparation for the integration is already done during the design phase itself. Semantic information about the concepts used during conceptual modeling is stored in a...

The acceptance of a knowledge-based system by the end user has been regarded as one of the major criteria for its success. The user interface design is one of the main reasons that hindered knowledge-based systems transition from prototype to everyday use. The success of knowledge-based systems therefore depends on the user interfaces as well as the efficiency of its knowledge encoding and reas...
