Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge-based expert systems have growing applicability to the transportation industry. A previous K-TRAN Project, KU/KSU-93-2, "An Expert System for Fabrication Error Solutions", developed an expert system that examines and recommends corrective action for fabrication errors detected in the plant for steel bridge members. Expert systems have been used to solve a broad range of problems which match the various functional areas of transportation engineering such as: planning, design, operation and control, management, maintenance and rehabilitation. The capabilities of the Bridge Fabrication Expert System (BFX) have been enhanced and the knowledge base expanded. Significant improvements have been made in the system/user interface. The new version of Level 5 Object with added functionality was tested with BFX and all systems worked providing improved input/output capability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph on integrated computer systems is one in a series of monographs published by the Expert Systems on Artificial Intelligence Committee of the ASCE Technical Council on Computer Practices. The purpose of the monograph series is to address issues in the use of expert system technology in civil engineering problem solving. Many of the publications and tools available to implement expert systems are generalized environments. The application of these environments is best achieved with an understanding of how others have succeeded or failed in using them to solve problems in the civil engineering domain. ,EM>Expert Systems for Civil Engineers: Integration Issues, broadens the scope of the monograph series from a focus on expert systems to a more general use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The scope is also broadened by considering integration of computer programs more generally, rather than only on combining expert systems with other packages. The reason for expanding the scope of the series is to consider the role of AI in civil engineering computer environments rather than being limited to the implementation of expert systems. This follows a general trend in research and practice, to find the right tool for the problem being addressed, rather than to a priori assume an expert system approach. This report specifically describes the technical and pragmatic issues in developing integrated or distributed computer systems in which AI techniques are used and how these issues were resolved in civil engineering research and practice.

Book excerpt: The major goal of the Bridge Construction Expert System (BCX) is to assist young bridge engineers and inspectors in determining the extent of damage due to construction errors and specifying the necessary repair solution. BCX was created to provide a unified repair procedure by gathering domain expertise from designers, construction engineers, inspectors and contractors. The goal was to create a system that would provide the most suitable repair in a timely manner and provide training to prevent future errors from occurring. The scope of the system was limited to pier footings with the exception of drilled shafts. The development strategy was designed to deliver a system that addresses the real needs and that will function as a tool for training and determining solutions to construction errors. The majority of the knowledge used for the system was acquired through interviews with the experts. The system was designed in three modules with submodules to facilitate future expansion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focuses on the development of a knowledge-based system in the domain of steel bridge fabrication errors using both rule-based reasoning (RBR) and case-based reasoning (CBR). Fabrication Error Indexed and Solutions (FIXS) was developed to combine the benefits of two previous research projects: 1) the rule-based Bridge Fabrication Error Solution Expert (BFX) system, and 2) its case-based counterpart (CB-BFX). Errors that occur during the fabrication of steel bridge members can have a costly effect on the performance of a bridge if not repaired properly. FIXS is an effort to provide guidance to the bridge engineer responsible for cost-effective solutions in a time sensitive manner. FIXS is implemented in the program language PROLOG and runs in the Windows environment as a stand-alone application. RBR facilities are provided by the expert system shell, MESS (Modest Expert System Shell). Similarly, CBR functions are provided by the simple case-based reasoner shell, SCBR (Simple Case Based Reasoning). The application has been designed for addition of new domain knowledge. The addition of new and updated knowledge allows the application to keep pace with changes in the steel bridge design industry and the methods of repairing errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-based engineering is essential for the efficient asset management and safe operation of bridges. A risk-based asset management strategy couples risk management, standard work, reliability-based inspection and structural analysis, and condition-based maintenance to properly apply resources based on process criticality. This ensures that proper controls are put in place and reliability analysis is used to ensure continuous improvement. An effective risk-based management system includes an enterprise asset management or resource solution that properly catalogues asset attribute data, a functional hierarchy, criticality analysis, risk and failure analysis, control plans, reliability analysis and continuous improvement. Such efforts include periodic inspections, condition evaluations and prioritizing repairs accordingly. This book contains select papers that were presented at the 10th New York City Bridge Conference, held on August 26-27, 2019. The volume is a valuable contribution to the state-of-the-art in bridge engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: th DEXA 2001, the 12 International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications was held on September 3–5, 2001, at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. The rapidly growing spectrum of database applications has led to the establishment of more specialized discussion platforms (DaWaK conference, EC Web conference, and DEXA workshop), which were all held in parallel with the DEXA conference in Munich. In your hands are the results of much effort, beginning with the preparation of the submitted papers. The papers then passed through the reviewing process, and the accepted papers were revised to final versions by their authors and arranged with the conference program. All this culminated in the conference itself. A total of 175 papers were submitted to this conference, and I would like to thank all the authors. They are the real base of the conference. The program committee and the supporting reviewers produced altogether 497 referee reports, on average of 2.84 reports per paper, and selected 93 papers for presentation. Comparing the weight or more precisely the number of papers devoted to particular topics at several recent DEXA conferences, an increase can be recognized in the areas of XMS databases, active databases, and multi and hypermedia efforts. The space devoted to the more classical topics such as information retrieval, distribution and Web aspects, and transaction, indexing and query aspects has remained more or less unchanged. Some decrease is visible for object orientation.

This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agents are software processes that perceive and act in an environment, processing their perceptions to make intelligent decisions about actions to achieve their goals. Multi-agent systems have multiple agents that work in the same environment to achieve either joint or conflicting goals. Agent computing and technology is an exciting, emerging paradigm expected to play a key role in many society-changing practices from disaster response to manufacturing to agriculture. Agent and mul- agent researchers are focused on building working systems that bring together a broad range of technical areas from market theory to software engineering to user interfaces. Agent systems are expected to operate in real-world environments, with all the challenges complex environments present. After 11 successful PRIMA workshops/conferences (Pacific-Rim International Conference/Workshop on Multi-Agents), PRIMA became a new conference titled “International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems” in 2009. With over 100 submissions, an acceptance rate for full papers of 25% and 50% for posters, a demonstration session, an industry track, a RoboCup competition and workshops and tutorials, PRIMA has become an important venue for multi-agent research. Papers submitted are from all parts of the world, though with a higher representation of Pacific Rim countries than other major multi-agent research forums. This volume presents 34 high-quality and exciting technical papers on multimedia research and an additional 18 poster papers that give brief views on exciting research.
