This paper introduces a new high-performance machine learning tool named Silas, which is built to provide more transparent, dependable and efficient data analytics service. We discuss the aspects of Silas demonstrate advantage in its predictive computational performance. show that several customised algorithms yield better predictions significantly shorter time compared state-of-the-art. Anothe...

Machine ethics, in contrast to computer ethics, is concerned with the behavior of machines towards human users and other machines. It involves adding an ethical dimension to machines. Our increasing reliance on machine intelligence that effects change in the world can be dangerous without some restraint. We explore the implementation of two action-based ethical theories that might serve as a fo...

This paper deals with applications of machine learning algorithms in manufacturing. Machine learning can be defined as a field of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without explicitly developing the needed algorithms. Manufacturing is the production of merchandise by manual labour, machines and tools. The focus of this paper is on automatic production lines. The areas of...

In this paper, the effect of footing shape resting on dry sand when subjected to machine dynamic loading is experimentally investigated. A laboratory set-up was prepared simulate case at different operating frequencies. Nine models were tested examine effects combinations two parameters, including frequencies (0.5, 1, and 2 Hz) shapes (circular, square rectangular). The tests conducted under a ...

Machine functions have been introduced by Earley and Sturgis in [6] in order to provide a mathematical foundation of the use of the T-diagrams proposed by Bratman in [5]. Machine functions describe the operation of a machine at a very abstract level. A theory of hardware and software based on machine functions may be called a machine function theory, or alternatively when focusing on inputs and...

UML state machine is widely used in modeling the dynamic behavior of object-oriented designs in industry. But UML state machine specification, which is maintained by Object Management Group(OMG), is documented in natural language instead of formal language. The inherited ambiguity of natural language may introduce inconsistencies to the resulting state machine model. Formalizing UML state machi...
