Using the Simulation Modeling Methods for the Designing Real-Time Integrated Expert Systems

Certain theoretical and methodological problems of designing real-time dynamical expert systems, which belong to the class of the most complex integrated expert systems, are discussed. Primary attention is given to the problems of designing subsystems for modeling the external environment in the case where the environment is represented by complex engineering systems. A specific approach to designing simulation models for complex engineering systems is proposed and examples of the application of this approach based on the G2 (Gensym Corp.) tool system are described

Transformations of Consumer Behaviour In The "New" Economy

The aspects of the "new" economy development at the macro level and in individual companies have been addressed in the works by leading researchers (G.B. Kleiner, D.E. Sorokin, M. Castells, P. Himanen). However, the usual focus is on producers and not substantially on the transformations of consumer behaviour while changes in consumer motivations and behaviour factors transform producer patterns. The purpose of this paper is to establish the trends, motives, and factors of consumer behaviour in the emerging "new" economy and to analyse their influence on the Russian economic potential in implementing its major technology development priorities. Considering the above purpose, the paper addresses the following objectives: major aspects of the "new" economy are identified and profiled; key transformations of consumer markets in the world and in Russia are analysed; Russian consumer patterns are analysed; strategic ways to improve the competitiveness of Russian companies are substantiated, considering transforming consumer behaviours. The main methods of the study include the statistical, comparative, dynamic, coefficient, and structural research methods. The trends in consumer behaviour are identified, including the intensifying influence of moral, informational, technological, and intellectual principles. The paper analyses the sources and factors of consumer behaviour under the consistent implementation of information, technological, and innovation activities. The logical link is established between consumer behaviour and the competitiveness of companies. It is pointed out that most major companies in developed economies focus their competitive efforts not on inherent but rather acquired competitive advantages, such as intellectual and technological factors. This reflects the consumer focus on aestheticisation, symbolisation, informatisation, standardisation, humanisation, technologisation, and ecologisation of product consumption. Given the above trends, capital, as a production factor, gives way to information, knowledge, and intellectual capacities

Intelligent technology for construction of tutoring integrated expert systems: new aspects

The main aim of this paper is to acquaint readers of the journal “Open Education” with the accumulated experience of construction and practical use in the educational process of Cybernetics Department of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI of a special class of intelligent tutoring systems, based on the architectures of tutoring integrated expert systems. The development is carried out on the problem-oriented methodology basis and intelligent software environment of AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench. They provide automation of support of all the stages of construction and maintenance of the life cycle of such systems.In the context of basic models, methods, algorithms and tools that implement the conceptual foundations of a problem-oriented methodology, and which are evolutionarily developed and experimentally investigated in the process of constructing various architectures of training integrated expert systems, including webbased ones, some features of the generalized model of intellectual learning and its components are considered (in particular, the competence-based model of the trainee, the adaptive tutoring model, the ontology model of the course /discipline et al.) as well as methods and means of their realization in the current versions of tutoring integrated expert systems.In current versions of tutoring integrated expert systems examples of implementation of typical intelligent tutoring problems are described for the generalized ontology “Intelligent systems and technologies” (individual planning of the method of studying the training course, intelligent analysis of training tasks, intelligent support for decision making).A brief description of the conceptual foundations of the model of the intelligent software environment of the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench is given and a description of some components of the model is presented with a focus on the basic components – intelligent planner, standard design procedures and reusable components, which provide automated support for the prototyping processes of tutoring integrated expert systems. A brief description of the models and approaches, used in the formalization of the planning and management processes of prototyping is presented.Schemes for the implementation of the standard design procedure “Construction of training IES and web-IES” in different modes of operation are described, as well as the technology of using reusable components for the development of tutoring integrated expert systems. Quantitative estimations of various components/ parameters of tutoring integrated expert systems are given and further prospects for their application are analyzed

Use of intelligent program environment for construction of integrated expert systems

Abstract. Development of the integrated expert systems with the task-oriented methodology and the problems of the intellectualization of AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench are reviewed. Intelligent planning methods applied for tutoring IES development processes are described with usage of the intelligent planner, reusable components, typical design procedures, and another intelligent program environment components. Some peculiarities of designing tutoring web-oriented integrated expert systems (web-IES) using intelligent development support tools functioning inside the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench are described. As an example, typical design procedure «Tutoring web-IES building» schemes for two different modes are presented. Keywords: tutoring integrated expert systems, task-oriented methodology, AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench, intelligent program environment, intelligent planner, typical design procedures, reusable components Introduction Support problems of development processes of intelligent and technological integrated expert systems (IES) with power functionality and scalable architecture are getting more and more significant and topical. For the first time these problems were reviewed in IES [1] development task-oriented methodology and in AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench which supports this methodology and represents knowledge engineer workstation The experience collected in development of multiple applied IES [1], tutoring IES development and usage in particular Therefore a significant place in the taskoriented methodology was assigned to methods and instruments of intelligent program support of development processes.
