Vietnamese-American students at Midwestern Community College: a narrative inquiry study
… narrative inquiry study was to discover how heuristic knowledge is developed in the academic and social journeys of Vietnamese-American students enrolled at Midwestern Community College, MWCC (a pseudonym). Additionally, the study explored how Vietnamese-American students are able to utilize …

Knowledge acquisition for effective and efficient use of engineering software
… precludes the possibility of acquiring complete knowledge of the software's Pareto optimal set. Instead, heuristic knowledge must be acquired. The thesis proposes that heuristic knowledge be acquired via a knowledge acquisition procedure. The use of a knowledge acquisition system, which may be …

Implementing adaptive fuzzy logic controllers with neural networks.
… mathematical system model but expert skills and heuristic knowledge from human experiences are available for control purposes. To this end, an intelligent control system must have the essential characteristics of human control experiences, i.e., linguistic knowledge representation, which …

Understanding the Development and Implementation of Heuristics and Biases in Design
Heuristics are rules of thumb used by designers to save time and resources in exchange for satisfactory, but not necessarily optimal, solutions. However, there is a large knowledge gap in understanding how heuristics are developed, retrieved, employed, and modified by designers. Having a better …

The influence of woven stretch fabric properties on pattern design.
… encountered. There is a strong alliance with the heuristic knowledge. The aim of the present work is to investigate the influence of woven stretch fabric properties on pattern construction. The stretch and recovery properties of woven stretch fabrics will be taken account for pattern reduction and …

A knowledge-based simulation optimization system with machine learning
A knowledge-based system is formulated to guide the search strategy selection process in simulation optimization. This system includes a framework for machine learning which enhances the knowledge base and thereby improves the ability of the system to guide optimizations. Response surfaces (i.e., …

A model-based approach to complex contour generation for process automation using computer vision
… relatively simple on-line measurements and prior knowledge and information that can be generated off-line on the object. Even though the approaches investigated here are quite general, the techniques are developed with respect to the specific application of flexible automation of a fish processing …
