Supporting Knitwear Design Using Case-Based Reasoning
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityKnitwear design is a creative activity that is hard to automate using the computer. The production of the
associated knitting pattern, however, is repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone, calling for automation.
Our objectives are two-fold: to facilitate the design and to ease the burden of calculations and checks in
pattern production. We conduct a feasibility study for applying case-based reasoning in knitwear design: we
describe appropriate methods and show how they can be implemented.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
An IMS-Learning Design Editor for a Higher Education Blended Learning Scenario
The IMS-Learning Design has been developed to
support the creation of reusable and pedagogically
neutral learning scenarios and content. Although it is
especially suitable for eLearning, there is a lot of
interest on using it in higher education blended
learning scenarios. However there are some related
key issues which must be managed such as cultural
bias and the need for expensive human resources to
design and develop specification compliant units of
learning. They can be addressed by the design of
ad-hoc editors supporting concrete learning design
units of learning. We suggest some solutions to
overcome these limitations, based on our experience
designing the user interface of an IMS-LD compliant
editor, GDUS+. We also explain our user centering
approach, and give some conclusions about the
benefits of using IMS-LD
