It is difficult to decide which approach gives better results because both have their own drawbacks and benefits. Sometimes, however, when expert knowledge and data knowledge are available simultaneously, both approaches can be joined together. One of the methods which is often used for dealing with this task is a method of training a fuzzy expert model with a set of data points. This method, however, is not the best alternative. The aim of this paper is to discuss drawbacks of this method and compare its performance with a performance of a method of integrating fuzzy rule nets.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116950848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to combine evolutionary algorithms with a recursive subdivision scheme. The algorithm starts from a base population where each individual represents an n-level surface approximation of an input object. Next, the population is evaluated and the offspring generation is created with a denser subdivision of a surface. In the process, the algorithm creates S different naturally-looking meshes approximating an input object. Additionally, we introduce the surface metrics to answer questions about the quality of output objects. The method is illustrated by a set of examples.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115187350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Still, collaboration between these institutions and centres is limited. Existing technologies such as grid, Web services and agents are promising better results. In this paper we propose to make the e-learning environment more dynamic by dividing it into regional data grids. Multi-agent technology has been applied to integrate each regional data grid with the others in order to produce an architecture which is more scalable, stronger and efficient. The result is what we call it regionally distributed architecture for dynamic e-learning environment (RDADeLE).","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127699934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of a framework will significantly decrease the amount of time taken for developing new applications. However, new framework users find that the documentation provided along with a framework is usually not very effective for new users. So, in this paper, we decided to apply another form of reuse, which is information reuse, to framework documentation. In order to come up with new solutions to new problems posed by the framework users, our proposed documentation approach will reuse previously documented cases, which have solved similar framework usage problems in the past. This requires the documentation system to be capable of understanding and learning from past experiences. We believe that with the reuse of past cases for solving new problems, new framework users will be able to dramatically improve their software development performance. The use of rule-based reasoning and genetic algorithms will optimize the case search and case adaptation process.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126323391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
