Considerable work has been done to automatically learn domain-specific knowledge to improve the performance of domain independent problem solving systems. However, most of this work has focussed on learning search control knowledge-knowledge that can be used by a problem solving system during search to improve its performance. An alternative approach to improving the performance of domain indep...

Das moderne Studium stellt die Studierenden vor inhaltliche, organisatorische und technische Herausforderungen. Zur Unterstützung und Begleitung soll daher an der TU Berlin eine Plattform geschaffen werden, die eine geeignete, vorkonfigurierte Softwareinfrastruktur zur Nutzung von digitalen Lerninhalten bereitstellt. Ein Recommender-System soll dabei unterstützen, die richtigen Module, Vorlesun...

Interface agents aim at collaborating with a user in the use of a software application. An interface agent needs to understand what the user is doing to act always in the context of the users intention. Moreover, the agent should gradually learn how to better assist the user, adapting to his interests, habits and preferences. Acting in this way, the agent would not bother the user in an imprope...

We identify a new class of non-circular attribute grammars, called the multi-plan attribute grammars, for which static evaluation plans can be computed. The class of multi-plan attribute grammars is larger than all currently known classes of non-circular attribute grammars with static evaluation plans. The decision procedure and the procedure for computing evaluation plans take essentially poly...

Asbru is a complex formal language developed to represent clinical guidelines and protocols which are timeand processoriented. To facilitate and support the modeling in Asbru methods and tools are required. In this paper, we provide a systematic analysis of the various plan components and their temporal interdependences (written in Asbru) to infer heuristics for our methods and tools. We develo...

Wildlife campaigners are hoping to do a deal with the burgeoning oil palm industry in Borneo in the hope of creating a forest framework to save the threatened orang-utan. Palm oil companies and the Sabah government in Borneo have agreed to a project to create wildlife corridors that will link forest areas and create a network of safe havens for the ape. Palm oil companies and the Sabah governme...
