Traditional modular architecture of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) does not provide sufficient modularity of complex ITSs. Distributed technologies like services and agents are used to increase modularity of ITSs by implementing traditional modules as sets of services or agents. The paper describes holonic agent architecture that implements each module as one or more holonic agents. It use...

Enterprise systems have standardized technologies to store transactional data on data warehouses and make the data available for various types of analysis using BI tools. Although industry-standard Business Intelligence architecture has been around for more than a decade, it needs...

In the history of stone traditional architecture there are constructive solutions which, with the same climatic conditions and materials used, produce a different final result. This result, which apparently is only a formal and figurative one, actually involves different physical–technical implications that inevitably determine, for these solutions, a different system of actions/reactions due t...

The traditional architecture we find in the Mediterranean basin continues to be of an extraordinary richness. It is the product and the reflection of societies accustomed to intense interchange, and it has taken form slowly precisely thanks to these interchanges. It is however important to point out immediately that it is a disappearing architectural form, because it was produced on the basis o...
