A water jet machining is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. This paper addresses the concept of the Intelligent knowledge base system (IKBS) for optimization of product design and manufacturing process for water jet machining in computer based concurrent engineering environme...

The paper presents an intelligent GIS architecture that enables us to extend GIS functionality by using domain specific knowledge and inference engine. In this architecture, an intelligent agent monitors events, which occur in the GIS environment, and execute tasks depending on user’s actions. The intelligent agent includes an expert system shell and knowledge base. A hybrid knowledge represent...

In this paper, I review some current technologies and software used in collaborative knowledge building and learning in general and then discuss the interactive system I designed to facilitate collaborative knowledge building and learning in tertiary education. This system is used in conjunction with a wireless intelligent personal electronic response system in the classroom. Contributors and l...

The Virtual Secretary (ViSe) is a kind of intelligent agent that could assist its user in major secretarial work. Users give the orders of what to do, while agents gure out how to do and carry out the tasks. This paper presents the ViSe agents in two aspects: (1) to construct individual agent on three intelligence levels: knowledge-base level, learning level and cooperation level; and (2) to mo...

A multiple-objective decision support system (MODSS) may have several multiple objective decision making (MODM) methods in its method base. As some methods are more suitable than others for some decision cases or for some decision makers, a guide system is very useful to help users systematically towards the selection of their most appropriate methods. This paper presents an intelligent guide s...

The knowledge management in e-learning systems is classified into knowledge about students, strategies of teaching and learning, management of the learning content, and the system management. The construction of the student’s knowledge, namely the student model, is a core component used to develop an intelligent e-learning system. The student model can be used as an effective method of learning...

We propose the implementation of an intelligent information system on free and open source software. This system will consist of a case-based reasoning (CBR) system and several machine learning modules to maintain the knowledge base and train the CBR system thus enhancing its performance. Our knowledge base will include data on free and open source software provided by the Debian project, the F...

Knowledge representation models have become an integral part of the intelligent decision support system (IDSS). This area is covered in many different works. The subject of particular interest is the application of intelligent technologies for the development of the tools of decision support system (DSS) design automation and its distinct elements, namely model base management systems (MBMS). M...

In this paper, we present a new framework for knowledge-based intelligent decision support systems for developing a national defense budget planning. The planning procedure for and architecture of the national defense budget in Taiwan are discussed in detail. In particular, the theories and techniques of intelligent decision support are used in the yearly practical budget planning process. Base...
