According to the World Health Organization, there are about 15% of universe population have some forms of disability. One of these disabilities is Cerebral Palsy CP which is a permanent motor disorder that appears in early age causing mental and physical disabilities. Based on WHO, between 1.5 to 2.8 cases per 1000 birth have CP Disability in the world. In Gaza Strip, 2.6% of population has some forms...
Accurate and efficient assessment of barley quality is crucial for brewery industry. Currently, such the assessment is performed by a qualified expert, is expensive, time-consuming and may yield unreproducible results. We introduce a barley ontology (BO) to formalize the expert's knowledge and to involve information from industry standards. The BO specifies quality classes of malting barley, their...
In this paper methods and approaches of using ontologies in intelligent tutoring systems are analyzed. Basic model of ontology of course/discipline is defined and its implementation in the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench is reviewed. Some aspects of using ontological approach for tutoring integrated expert systems construction are discussed.
Nowadays there are a great number of applications based on expert systems implementing the expertise of a human academic evaluator. Many of them refer to the self-evaluation of students' academic performance. The actual research targets the evaluation of academic courses from blended learning point of view. In this work, we present the design and implementation of an Intelligent Agent based Expert...
Decision making is important for many systems and is fundamental for situation awareness and information fusion. When a decision making process is confronted with new situations, goals and kinds of data, it must evolve and adapt. Highly optimized processes and efficient data structures generally have the disadvantage of having little flexibility or adaptability when confronted with new forms of data...
According to muhaddithun, hadith is 'what was transmitted on the authority of The Prophet (PBUH): his deeds, sayings, tacit approvals, or description of his physical features and moral behaviors'. These days, there are an increasing number of studies in Information Technology (IT) has been done on hadith domain in different levels of knowledge of hadith, where a number of studies have been conducted...
Nowadays there are no precise estimates about the number of persons (especially children) living with disabilities and communication disorders in the world. This situation becomes more complex in developing countries, where the World Health Organization (WHO) claims that only between 5 and 15% of children and adults with disabilities have the opportunity to access to assistive technologies. In the...
Zakat is one of the most fundamental obligations in Islamic religion. The obligation of Zakat is unanimously agreed upon all schools of jurisprudence. However, these schools hold distinctly different opinions on various subjects of Zakat such as the amount that constitutes nissab, the categories of wealth and the rate of Zakat that applies to each category. But, one of the Zakat issues is how to calculate...
Creative computing is a new concept on guiding human beings to create fresh, surprising and useful systems to achieve effective working in different fields. Creative computing aims at combining knowledge from different disciplines. Being interdisciplinary is able to accomplish a knowledge combination which will blur the boundary between distinct fields. A series of weaved knowledge may well enable...
About 35% of India's Gross National Product comes through agricultural sector. Any losses in gross agricultural product also affect Indian economy. Percentage of crop yield loss due to pests and dieses is considerable. As grapes are grown in most of states in India, it plays important role in gross crop yield. Having a computerized system for managing pests and disease occurring in grapes will help...
To protect the health of human and environment, the European Union implemented the REACH regulation for chemical substances. REACH is an acronym for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. Under REACH, the authorities have the task of assessing chemical substances, especially those that might pose a risk to human health or environment. The work under REACH is scientifically,...
Today, with an avalanching increase in information, the task of developing the systems that allow user to quickly search desired information in large text volumes is becoming more and more urgent. An example of such system is the question answering one. In the work we describe an architecture of such system which work is based on utilizing data from an ontology. We propose an algorithm for automatic...
Healthy food is one of the most critical aspects for the family, especially for their children as healthy diet for children results in better life including the increase of their ability to learn, exercise, and even behaving. Therefore, a need for a full support for providing the children with healthy food is a vital target to reach. In this paper, we propose a prototype for a children nutrition expert...
This paper focuses on a generalized approach to providing user interface to a web-based expert system (WBES). We examine MVC and MVP design patterns used traditionally to construct a web application user interface. In order to leverage the strength of the MVC/MVP design patterns we propose a special ontology representing a user communication domain. We describe a self-service networked infrastructure...
Case based reasoning (CBR) is one of the best methodologies for various problems solving and learning processes. Knowledge Management and CBR has been a major contributor to several medical diagnostic support systems. Case-based reasoning is a prominent kind of analogy making that is analogous to the process of human reasoning and natural problem solving. With the increasing number of AIDS patients,...
This study presents a new approach in developing an ontology based expert system to diagnose thyroid diseases. Ontology represents explicit specification of knowledge in a specific domain of interest in the form of concepts and relations among them. Its merit is that the represented knowledge is both computer and human readable. The adoption of ontology in healthcare has facilitated domain experts...
With increasing adoption of Internet and various social media technologies by companies, the web has become a rich source of information about many aspects of organizational activities. Hence one input towards gathering competitive intelligence is to mine the text sources available on the web for any particular company and use the summarized version of that information for strategic decision making...
With the rapid development of World Wide Web, search engines have become the main tool for people to get network information. However, the search results are widely criticized due to the poor accuracy and redundancy disadvantages. After the advent of semantic web, new search engine with the ability of understanding queries and documents has attracted more and more attentions. This paper starts from...
In order to meet intelligent requirement of the expert system in the process of fault diagnosis, a fault diagnosis system architecture which based on self-learning ontology was proposed in this paper. The fault diagnosis knowledge structure was defined; the relevant structure ontology and core fault ontology were constructed. Based on design of data warehouse of fault diagnosis, the decision tree...
This paper describes role of ontologies in the field of systems which work with state space, such as expert systems. Nowadays the ontology approach provides quite innovative ways to represent knowledge in various professions and manufacturing processes are not an exception. We will focus on the possibility of using ontology during the state space creation. Idea of representing space of states using...
