On the 31st August 1955, J. McCarthy (Dartmouth College, New Hampshire), M.L. Minsky (Harvard University), N. Rochester (I.B.M. Corporation) and C.E. Shannon (Bell Telephone Laboratories) proposed a meeting to a group of researchers to be held in the summer of 1956 in order to provide ideas on each aspect of learning and each feature of intelligence capable of being simulated on machines. Durin...

Abstract Artificial intelligence is an emerging technology with average growth rate of 64.70% in patent filings worldwide and 39.71% Europe between 2015 2019, according to Espacenet queries. This trend has raised several concerns regarding the implications for Intellectual Property rights, including disclosure, which one main components justifying existence system. Despite its importance, this ...

Due to the complexity of scheduling flexible manufacturing systems, the generation of production schedules requires an intelligent technique. Many artificial intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and neural networks have been successfully applied to the scheduling of advanced manufacturing systems. One such system is Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells (RFACs). Few studies...

the success of artificial recharge schemes requires the identification of suitable site. the use of fuzzy set theory in site selection projects allows the decision-makers to incorporate unquantifiable information into decision model. in this paper, site selection of artificial groundwater recharges using an integrated method of fuzzy topsis and ahp has been done in raster environment of gis. th...

This paper presents the concepts of the intelligent system for aiding of the module assembly technology. The first part of this paper presents a project of intelligent support system for computer aided assembly process planning. The second part includes a coincidence description of the chosen aspects of implementation of this intelligent system using technologies of artificial intelligence (art...

To utilize the the concept of combining various modern artificial intelligence methods — namely neural networks, genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic controllers — we develop a unified software platform called Bang2. The system serves as a library for many artificial intelligence methods and allows for easy creation of such combinations, and possibly their semi-automated generation, or even evolu...

Information-intensive Web services such as price comparison sites have recently been gaining popularity. However, most users including novice shoppers have difficulty in browsing such sites because of the massive amount of information gathered and the uncertainty surrounding Web environments. Even conventional price comparison sites face various problems, which suggests the necessity of a new a...

Nowadays, with the development of the economy, the demand for energy is increasing rapidly while the energy supply is growing shorter and shorter. Researches indicate that energy consumption in the residential sector counts for the main parts of the total energy consumption. This paper evaluates the effect of building orientation on exposure to the solar radiation in a NESW orientated case o...

The way we deal with space in many everyday situations is on a qualitative basis, allowing for imprecision in spatial descriptions when we interact with each other. This is often achieved by specifying the spatial relations between the objects or regions that we talk about. In artificial intelligence, a variety of formalisms have been developed that deal with space on the basis of relations bet...

Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation represents more than 90% of the solar UV radiation reaching Earth's surface. Exposure to solar UV radiation is a major risk in the occurrence of non-melanoma skin cancer. Whole genome sequencing data of melanoma tumors recently obtained makes it possible also to definitively associate malignant melanoma with sunlight exposure. Even though UVB has long been establis...
