Powerful new features may be incorporated to simulation environments by exploiting existing Web technology. To demonstrate this, WebManSim, a prototype web-based manufacturing system simulator has been developed. The proposed system includes project management principles, supports communication and voting and provides workflow facilities and simulation program generation execution capabilities....

This paper describes the development of the Injection Moulding Process Expert System (IMPRESS). The IMPRESS system diagnoses faults in injection moulding machinery which lead to dirt or other contamination appearing in the plastic mouldings which are produced. This KBS has recently been put into use at Plastic Engineers (Scotland) Ltd, and is proving useful both as an expert assistant when tech...

Construction processes planning and e®ective management are extremely important for success in construction business. Head of a design must be well experienced in initiating, planning, and executing of construction projects. Therefore, proper assessment of design projects' managers is a vital part of construction process. The paper deals with an e®ective methodology that might serve as a decisi...

The paper describes JessGUI, a graphical user interface developed on top of the Jess expert system shell. The central idea of the JessGUI project was to make building, revising, updating, and testing Jess-based expert systems easier, more flexible, and more user friendly. There are many other expert system building tools providing a rich and comfortable integrated development environment to exp...

Telepresence robots allow people to explore remote environments, interacting to other people between long distance. A person only needs to know how to drive them in order to feel his/herself inside a remote environment. The main goal of this project is to provide a user interface that improves the user’s depth perception through a 2D visual feedback and, as a secondary target, to allow non-expe...

Intelligent systems (neural networks, expert, knowledge, decision support and other systems) in construction can be used on the national, organization and project levels. However, most of all neural networks, knowledge, decision support and expert systems are seeking to find how to make the most economic construction decisions, and most of all these decisions are intended only for economic obje...

This paper describes the realization of the Ontology Web Search Engine. The Ontology Web Search Engine is realizable as independent project and as a part of other projects. The main purpose of this paper is to present the Ontology Web Search Engine realization details as the part of the Semantic Web Expert System and to present the results of the Ontology Web Search Engine functioning. It is ex...

This paper surveys a collection of sample applications for networked user-centric context-aware embodied music listening. The applications have been designed and developed in the framework of the EU-ICT Project SAME (www.sameproject.eu) and have been presented at Agora Festival (IRCAM, Paris, France) in June 2009. All of them address in different ways the concept of embodied, active listening t...

The goal of this project is to help an expert problem solver find needed information in a large, complex information space, locating sufficient information to solve the problem at hand without the distraction of redundant or irrelevant information. We focus on one example of expert problem solving, the health care field, where the medical record of a patient can be a large, complex, and geograp...

The two authors of this paper belong to the expert commission of the standardization bodies in France (AFNOR) and in Germany (DIN) and are, within the ISO/TC37/SC2, project leader and expert for the revision of the ISO-standard. In this paper we will report on the revision of the standard ISO 1951 Presentation/Representation of entries in dictionaries which will give recommendation regarding th...
