Abstract:

Over the past decade, two types of decision aids, i.e., decision support systems (DSS) and expert systems (ES), have been developed along parallel paths, showing some significant differences in their software architectures, capabilities, limitations, and other characteristics. The synergy of DSS and ES, however, has great potential for helping make possible a generalized approach to developing a decision aid that is powerful, intelligent, and friendly. This research establishes a framework for such decision aids in order to determine the elementary components and their interactions. Based on t

Abstract:

A new approach for the development of problem-solvers for combinatorial problems is proposed in this thesis. The approach combines incremental knowledge acquisition and probabilistic search algorithms, such as evolutionary algorithms, to allow a human to rapidly develop problem-solvers in new domains in a framework called HeurEAKA. The approach addresses a known problem, that is, adapting evolutionary algorithms to the search domain by the introduction of domain knowledge. The development of specialised problem-solvers has historically been labour intensive. Implementing a problem-solver from

Abstract:

Macro-operators is a problem solving technique in the field of artificial intelligence. The application of this technique depends on the generation of macro-operators. This research investigated macro-operators generation in the 15-puzzle. A method named "Iterative-Deepening Depth-First Search" and the relevant analysis were presented. A program using this method was developed in LISP. It was concluded that the performance of iterative-deepening depth-first search is much better than that of the ordinary exhaustive search methods. It was recommended that research be continued in searching for

Abstract:

Creativity is a useful attribute for people to have. It allows them to solve unfamiliar problems, introduce novelty to established domains, and to understand and assimilate new information and situations - all things we would like computers to be able to do too. However, these creative attributes do not exist in isolation: they occur in a context in which people tend to solve problems routinely where possible rather than consider non-standard ideas. These more mundane attributes might also be useful for problem solving computers, for the same reasons they are useful for us. However, they are o

Abstract:

Designing GSS that can be used effectively by co-located groups presents a number of specific problems that do not exist with other group configurations. In particular, any GSS in a co-located setting has an overhead of use that must be recouped by its benefits, or it reduces the overall group effectiveness. In distributed groups the same basic payback is necessary, but usually the GSS is also used as a communication medium; in co-located groups, members communicate directly so this immediate payback is not available to them and the benefit must come from the decision support strand of GSS.

The method is very complex. The result is in the form of a table. We might say that it is not a friendly user-interface.In this thesis, we will create an application which uses a window as an in

Problem solving is an important skill for students of the mathematical sciences, but traditional methods of directed learning often fail to teach students how to solve problems independently. To compound the issue, assessing problem-solving skills with computers is extremely difficult. In this thesis we investigate teaching by problem solving and introducing aspects of problem solving in computer aided assessment. In the first part of this thesis we discuss problem solving and problem-based pedagogies. This leads us, in the second part, to a discussion of the Moore Method, a method of enquiry-

The algorithm consists of an unsupervised learning algorithm and a recursive Hopfield neural network. The unsupervised learning algorithm was used to decompose the problem into clusters. The recursive Hopfield neural network was applied to the centroids of the clusters, then to the cities in each cluster, in order to find an optimal path.

The travelling salesman problem is one of the NP-complete problems. It has been under consideration in computer science for at least forty years.

When the termination rule is such that the search stops but not necessarily with an optimal tour, we call the method "approximate".<br>This thesis looks closely at one of the approximate
