    Factors shaping the evolution of electronic documentation systems

    The main goal is to prepare the space station technical and managerial structure for likely changes in the creation, capture, transfer, and utilization of knowledge. By anticipating advances, the design of Space Station Project (SSP) information systems can be tailored to facilitate a progression of increasingly sophisticated strategies as the space station evolves. Future generations of advanced information systems will use increases in power to deliver environmentally meaningful, contextually targeted, interconnected data (knowledge). The concept of a Knowledge Base Management System is emerging when the problem is focused on how information systems can perform such a conversion of raw data. Such a system would include traditional management functions for large space databases. Added artificial intelligence features might encompass co-existing knowledge representation schemes; effective control structures for deductive, plausible, and inductive reasoning; means for knowledge acquisition, refinement, and validation; explanation facilities; and dynamic human intervention. The major areas covered include: alternative knowledge representation approaches; advanced user interface capabilities; computer-supported cooperative work; the evolution of information system hardware; standardization, compatibility, and connectivity; and organizational impacts of information intensive environments

    Ponencia presentada en ICRAMAE-2k21, International Conference on Recent Advances in Mechanical and Automation Engineering, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur, India, 29-30th November 2021[EN]Industrial Engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design and operation of industrial processes. It involves the application of science to the construction of production systems. This field has undergone significant advancements over the last decades. In the last centuries, the emergence of different technologies has led to breakthroughs in engineering, making it possible to automate processes in industries. Steam, electricity, the internet, and now Artificial Intelligence technologies have all brought with them greater levels of automation to machinery, gradually decreasing human involvement in processes such as procurement, raw material handling, manufacturing and quality control

    EmergencyGrid:Planning in Convergence Environments

    Get PDF
    Government agencies are often responsible for event handling, planning, coordination, and status reporting during emergency response in natural disaster events such as floods, tsunamis and earthquakes. Across such a range of emergency response scenarios, there is a common set of requirements that distributed intelligent computer systems generally address. To support the implementation of these requirements, some researchers are proposing the creation of grids, where final interface and processing nodes perform joint work supported by a network infrastructure. The aim of this project is to extend the concepts of emergency response grids, using a convergence scenario between web and other computational platforms. Our initial work focuses on the Interactive Digital TV platform, where we intend to transform individual TV devices into active final nodes, using a hierarchical planning structure. We describe the architecture of this approach and an initial prototype specification that is being developed to validate some concepts and illustrate the advantages of this convergence planning environment

    Artifical Intelligence for Human Computing

    This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of two events discussing AI for Human Computing: one Special Session during the Eighth International ACM Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2006), held in Banff, Canada, in November 2006, and a Workshop organized in conjunction with the 20th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2007), held in Hyderabad, India, in January 2007. A large number of the contributions in this state-of-the-art survey are updated and extended versions of the papers presented during these two events. In order to obtain a more complete overview of research efforts in the field of human computing, a number of additional invited contributions are also included in this book on AI for human computing. The 17 revised papers presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions to and presentations made at the two events and include invited articles to round off coverage of all relevant topics of the emerging topic. The papers are organized in three parts: a part on foundational issues of human computing, a part on sensing humans and their activities, and a part on anthropocentric interaction models
