CG: n CT: Computational intelligence is the study of the design of intelligent agents. An agent is something that acts in an environment—it does something. Agents include worms, dogs, thermostats, airplanes, humans, organizations, and society. An intelligent agent is a system that acts intelligently: What it does is appropriate for its
GC: n CT: Computer science is a discipline that spans theory and practice. It requires thinking both in abstract terms and in concrete terms. The practical side of computing can be seen everywhere. Nowadays, practically everyone is a computer user, and many people are even computer programmers. Getting computers to
GC: n CT: Industrial Ecology is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining natural, technical and social sciences in a systems view at scale levels from the global to the local. Its core concept is the analogy between processes in nature (biosphere) and processes in society (techno-sphere). Evolution has resulted in a

This classification is integral to each landfill’s PPC permit/waste management licence. Therefore, in order to prevent the co-disposal of waste (banned since July 2004) and to comply with the waste licence as issued
GC: n CT: How the inference engine works. In simple rule-based systems, there are two kinds of inference, forward chaining and backward chaining. Forward chaining: data gets put into working memory. This triggers rules whose conditions match the new data. These rules then perform their actions. The actions may add
GC: n CT: IS (information system) is the collection of technical and human resources that provide the storage, computing, distribution, and communication for the information required by all or some part of an enterprise. A special form of IS is a management information system (MIS), which provides information for managing

Unfortunately, fireplaces are also major air gaps—they can send up to 8 percent of valuable furnace-heated air flying out the chimney, making them really fun to look at
GC: n CT: An intelligent agent is a software that assists people and act on their behalf. Intelligent agents work by allowing people to delegate work that they could have done, to the agent software. Agents can perform repetitive tasks, remember things you fo rgot, intelligently summarize complex data, learn
GC: n CT: An intelligent database is a full-text database with artificial intelligence (AI) components that interact with users to ensure that users are supplied all relevant information. The AI portion is most often seen during searches providing intellectual operations and knowledge representations that are usually based on the connectionist
GC: n CT: Intelligent energy management system – techniques and methods. Our environment is an asset to be managed carefully and is not an expendable resource to be taken for granted. The main original contribution of this thesis is in formulating intelligent techniques and simulating case studies to demonstrate the
GC: n CT: Intelligent Energy Saving System is a control system used to control a particular environment in other to optimize the energy. It can be used to control the lighting or air conditioning of an area. An example is the library which can be well illuminated with many lamps.
GC: n CT: To understand the notion of intelligent interfaces, we can start by a discussion of what cannot be seen as a definition of intelligent interfaces. Firstly, we can note two things: An “intelligent system” does not necessarily have an intelligent interface, and neither is a well-designed interface necessarily
GC: n CT: Requirements for an intelligent system include security, connectivity, the ability to adapt according to current data and the capacity for remote monitoring and management. Essentially, an intelligent system is anything that contains a functional, although not usually general-purpose, computer with Internet connectivity. An embedded system may be

GC: n CT: In computers, interactivity is the dialog that occurs between a human being (or possibly another live creature) and a computer program. (Programs that run without immediate user involvement are not interactive; they’re usually called batch or background programs.) Games are usually thought of as fostering a great
GC: n CT: In computing the term interface can have various meanings, but all relate to the interaction between one object and another. Interface may refer to a hardware interface, a software interface, or sometimes it can refer to the interaction between the user and the computer via an input
