Today, most visualization systems available on the market lack of flexibility regarding their visualization process with respect to either their interaction possibilities or their rendering quality. In order to satisfy individual user demands and to adapt to changing system loads and different hardware configurations, multi agent technology is combined with the component-based implementation of...

Textual-case based reasoning (TCBR) systems where the problem and solution are in free text form are hard to evaluate. In the absence of class information, domain experts are needed to evaluate solution quality, and provide relevance information. This approach is costly and time consuming. We propose three measures that can be used to compare alternate TCBR system configurations, in the absence...

global representation is able to incorporate all the relevant information for monitoring and supervising the manufacturing. In addition it should provide the operator interface with all the information required by the operator. Finally, such an object-based architecture will constitute an open representational system, which is able to represent additional information and knowledge when found us...

In this paper we describe a methodological analysis of EBMT (Examplebased Machine Translation) based on a CBR (Case-Based Reasoning) perspective. This analysis focuses on adaptation. We argue that, just as in CBR, the overall power of an EBMT system is its ability to adapt examples retrieved to suit the new problem translation. Here we describe a technique whereby reusability is a function of t...

In this paper, we argue that syntactic analysis is most likely to improve retrieval accuracy in textual case-based reasoning when the task of the system is well-defined and the relationship between queries and cases is specified in terms of this task. We illustrate this claim with an implemented system for syntax-based answer-indexed retrieval, RealDialog.

The aim of this study is to explore the strategic applications and limitations of Time-driven Activity-based Costing (TDABC) and to evaluate the degree of accuracy of the proponents’ arguments concerning its usefulness. In this study, published works directly related to this area from the period 2004-2015 are analyzed. This study reports TDABC's applications in strategic areas such as cost of p...

In many knowledge-based systems the used knowledge is distributed among several knowledge sources. These knowledge sources may have dependencies between each other, which should be considered when maintaining these sources. An integrated maintenance approach for multiple Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems has to consider dependencies between the individual knowledge containers within one CBR sy...

Many organisations worldwide are benefiting from the use of electronic mail (e-mail) for workplace communication. However employees continue to report multifarious e-mail concerns (“e-mail defects”) including ambiguous unclear messages, e-mail overload, security and privacy issues, and e-mail interruptions. Such e-mail defects affect employee productivity and satisfaction, organisational costs ...
