The fruit export market in Chile lacks of an online system or procedure for quality control of export fruit, which considers the minimum mandatory parameters that different types of fruit must meet in order to be exportable to different destinations. To solve this problem, we designed an information system that allows the online control quality of export fruits during the different stages of the productive...
The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of oculography signals for the recognition of experts in visual arts. We focused our attention on the number of sight transitions between characteristic image areas (ROIs). In the experiments we used oculographic data recorded at the Department of Experimental Psychology at the Catholic University of Lublin for 29 images and 34 users. The EM method was...
This paper presents new approaches for construction of knowledge-oriented control systems. The AND/OR-graph model is improved for control rules visualization and interactive processing. The knowledge-oriented system for the dispatcher that regulates the safe operation with electrical equipment made it possible to increase the reliability of decisions taken by the dispatcher by 12%.
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...
The development of expert Systems to support to different areas in the medical field has important implications; it is possible to emphasize the possibility of having timely and effective treatments. Early detection of an anomaly and an effective control of this can prevent the progression of a disease. In this work, shows the progress in the design and implementation of an expert system for ophthalmologic...
Voice-based systems allow users access to information on the internet over a voice interface. Prior studies on Open and Distance Learning (ODL) e-examination systems that make use of voice interface do not sufficiently exhibit intelligent form of assessment, which diminishes the rigour of examination. The objective of this paper is to improve on the achievements of previous studies by providing a...
Honduran coffee is one of the best coffees worldwide. Its cultivation and subsequent quality control require the use of expert cuppers. In this work a fuzzy logic type-2 expert system is used as a tool to obtain the quality level of a Honduran cup of coffee based on subjective criteria used by cuppers. A case is shown to prove the effectiveness of the expert system. The system was tested in more than...
We collect environmental information through our sensory organs, perceive them suitably to execute the task in hand. Examples of such tasks are abundant, like driving, operating machines, playing games, hunting, or mushroom picking on mountains. While executing such tasks, there is a marked difference in efficiency and accuracy between an expert and a novice. An expert is attentive to only what is...
Software who is being developed for more than a year, is categorized in the group of large projects, and is entering the area of critical and risky in terms of their successful completion. Because of those reasons, they require constant monitoring by the software manager. In order to perform adequate monitoring of developed solution and its projects, there are a number of software metrics that provide...
Big data analytics and visualization emerged as socio-technical needs in this current century as well as will be main dominant workforces in next generation technologies. Today’s social and technological operations are centered around massive data transfer. These activities are more predominant for dynamic real-time data handling and operations. Better visualization techniques will help for clear...
This paper presents a tool that integrates techniques and features to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the diagnosis and its consequent decision action in industrial processes. The present tool is based on a rule-based expert system that can process online data of process variables, alarms and events for operation support. The proposed system, called BR-PlantExpert, is designed to act as...
During the process of destructive physical analysis (DPA), a large amount of photos of external visual inspection, internal circuit destruction, X-ray inspection and logos of microcircuits will be acquired. The photos of qualified devices can be used as background information in the PHM monitoring of electronic products. Knowledge base of electronic products expert system consists of the failure mode,...
In-service inspection plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of offshore structures. The in-service inspection covers in-situ inspections, evaluation of inspection results, condition assessment of the structure and planning for future inspections. The planning of in-service inspection is a complex process due to the presence of uncertainties; in particular the uncertainties...
Different methodological guidelines, lack of clarity in designing curriculum modules, as well as the diversity of definitions and conceptions presents in the competence approach are drawbacks for designers of competency-based curricula. This paper presents a system designed under an ontological approach, which aims to support the design of competency-based curricula. The system emphasizes aspects...
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in Henan Province and videoendoscope is an invaluable tool for the diagnosis of early esophageal cancer. Therefore, we propose a diagnosis expert system for the diagnosis of early esophageal cancer on the basis of videoendoscope. We apply the Bag-of-Words model to get the feature representations and group the features using the Information...
A certain type of helicopter is widely used in China. Aiming at the characteristics of fault diagnosis, the expert system of electrical and instrument system of helicopter is established based on Visual Prolog. The knowledge of the system is acquired by manual method. The knowledge base is established according to the production rule. The forward reasoning is used for inference of fault diagnosis...
An efficient term mining method to build a general term network is presented for entity relation visualization and exploration. Terms from each document in the corpus are first identified. They are subjected to an analysis for their association weights, which are accumulated over all the documents for each term pair. The resulting term association matrix is used to build a general term network. A...
Current estimates show that there are about 40,000 bridges in Australia, of which 27,000 are aging timber bridges. Maintaining existing timber bridges is important to eliminate possibilities of structural collapse which can have catastrophic outcomes to the community. Aging timber bridges have a high maintenance cost. Relating different types of defects to possible underlying causes make deterioration...
This paper presents a methodology and software for hazard rate analysis of induction type watt-hour meters, considering the main variables related with the degradation process of these meters, for the Elektro Electricity and Services SA. The modeling developed to calculate the watt-hour meters hazard rate was implemented in a tool through a user friendly platform, in Delphi language, enabling not...
Many computers have been infected with the computer anomalies. The availability of network security visualization tools greatly facilitate to perceive computer users from being affected by these anomalies. Many of the network security visualization tools are designed particularly for users with advanced network security knowledge even though the tools are indispensable by various types of computer...
