This paper examines the three prevalent approaches to Artificial Intelligence (AI), namely symbolic reasoning systems, connectionist systems, and emergent systems based on the principles of the subsumption theory. Distinguished by their top-down and bottomup mechanisms all three approaches have strengths and weaknesses. While the logical reasoning approach is precise and well supported by mathe...

Artificial Intelligence (AI). Impossible not to talk about it since the last release from OpenAI of GPT-4 in March 2023 making once again AI buzzword moment. This is bigger than day Deep Blue won against Garry Kasparov 1997, or IBM Watson Jeopardy 2011. and its artificial intelligence latest advance now at hands every person with access internet; ChatGPT has democratized AI, everyone can “play”...

Software testing is often unable to detect all program flaws. These bugs are most commonly reported to programmers in error reports containing core dumps and/or execution traces that frequently reveal users’ private information without providing all necessary information for effective debugging. Hence, these mechanisms are sparsely used due to users’ data privacy concerns. This paper presents R...

Over the course of analyzing data from a series of socio-technical ICT studies, we have developed a multi-dimensional concept of a social actor to guide qualitative data collection and analysis. Three information and communication technology (ICT) studies have been used to develop and refine the concept: a mid-1990's study of online information services use, a 4year study of intranet developmen...
