Many large-scale and highly specialised distributed systems such as Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems produce considerable quantities of data on a real-time basis. This data is then frequently locked in a proprietary ...

We propose that analogical reasoning and case based reasoning (CBR) tasks can be usefully characterised as a continuum reflecting the remoteness of the remindings involved. Remindings in CBR are generally between semantically ...

[Introduction] An ATM network is a connection-oriented, packet-switched network with the ability to transport heterogeneous services irrespective of characteristics across the same underlying physical network. ATM networks ...

A central element in the human notion of trust is to identify whom or what is under consideration. In the digital world, this is harder to achieve due to more or less trustworthy technical infrastructure between interacting ...

This report presents an approach to solve Sam Loyd?s famous 15-puzzle. The 15 or sliding puzzle is traditionally represented as a 4 * 4 board with tiles numbered from 1 to 15 arranged in numerical order from top left to ...

Case Based Reasoning has found increasing application on the Internet as an assistant in Internet commerce stores and as a reasoning agent for online technical support. The strength of CBR in this area stems from its ...

Recent years has seen a dramatic rise in the number of mobile devices in use. These devices include PDAs, mobile phones and embedded devices such as those found in cars for satellite tracking. As the use of these devices ...

A well modularised software system reduces complexity and supports change. Separating concerns as a means of achieving good modularisation, is therefore one of the primary principles in software engineering. In general, ...

Processing speeds have increased dramatically, bitmapped displays allow graph ics to be rendered and updated at increasing rates, and in general computers have advanced to the point where they can assist humans in complex ...
