Ein Lösungsansatz hierzu heißt „Mobile Location Based Gaming“ (MLBG). Hierbei wird der Spieltrieb des Menschen zur Schaffung von Akzeptanz von LBS ausgenutzt. In diesem Beitrag wird MLBG eingeführt und ein realisiertes mobiles ortsabhängiges Abenteuer...

This paper describes an approach to the integration of case and models called model-based adaptation (MBA). Under this approach, case-based reasoning is used to find an approximate solution, and model-based reasoning is then used to adapt this approximate solution into a more precise solution. This paper distinguishes two distinct forms of MBA--per]ect-model-based adaptation and approximate-mod...

In this paper, we present an approach integrating neurule-based and case-based reasoning. Neurules are a kind of hybrid rules that combine a symbolic (production rules) and a connectionist representation (adaline unit). Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. One way that the neurules can be produced is from symbolic rules by merging the symbolic rules having the same conclusion. In thi...

Oil well drilling is a complex process which frequently leads to operational problems. In order to deal with some of these problems, knowledge intensive case based reasoning (KiCBR) has clearly shown potential. An important problem in drilling is hole cleaning, in which a high number of observed parameters and other features are involved. This paper presents how to determine the root causes of ...

this study was an attempt to investigate the comparative impact of two types of teaching approaches, namely content-based (cbi) and task-based (tblt) instruction on the reading comprehension of iranian efl learners. for this purpose, sixty intermediate students from a pool of eighty five students studying at a private language school were chosen using a piloted pet. the students were then rando...

Computer based learning gets more and more important in higher education. Particularly, in Legal domain, students have little chance to deal with realistic situations.
