In this paper, we present a Web-based intelligent education system to help students in the context of an AI course. We concentrate on the adaptivity and student evaluation aspects of the system. Adaptivity refers to the capability of the system to adapt teaching to student needs, specified by the student model characteristics. Student evaluation refers to the evaluation of the knowledge level of a student, which is one of the most important characteristics, with regards to taught concepts. Adaptive hypermedia techniques, like graphical link annotation, and an intelligent technique, i.e. a rule-based expert system, are used to achieve the above goals. An evaluation of the system showed encouraging results as far as its usability and learning are concerned.

Designing and maintaining Web applications is one of the major challenges that software industry has to face. Several modeling techniques have been proposed to support this process. In this work we present a methodology for identifying design patterns within an application modelled using WebML, a modelling language for designing data-intensive Web applications. We extend the set of design patterns supported by WebML and exemplify the application of the methodology using an e-learning scenario.

Flow control is the dominant technique currently used in communication networks for preventing excess traffic from flooding the network, and for handling congestion. In rate-based flow control, transmission rates of sessions are adjusted in an end-to-end manner through a sequence of operations . In this work, we present a theory of max-min fair , rate-based flow control sensitive to priorities of different sessions, as a significant extension of the classical theory of max-min fair, rate-based flow control to networks supporting applications with diverse requirements on network resources. Each individual session bears a priority function , which maps the session's priority to a transmission rate; the priority is a working abstraction of the session's priority to bandwidth access. Priority functions enable the specification of requirements on bandwidth access by distributed applications, and the formal handling of such requirements. We present priority max-min fairness , as a novel and well motivated fairness condition which requires that assigned rates correspond, through the priority functions, to priorities comprising a max-min vector. We also introduce priority bottleneck algorithms gradually update a session's rate until when its priority is restricted on a priority bottleneck edge of the network. We establish a collection of interesting combinatorial properties of priority bottleneck algorithms. Most significantly, we show that they can only converge to priority max-min fairness. As an application of our general theory, we embed priority bottleneck algorithms in the more realistic optimistic framework for rate-based flow control. The optimistic framework allows for both decreases and increases of session rates. We exploit these additionally provided semantics to prove further combinatorial properties for the termination of priority bottleneck algorithms in the optimistic framework. We use these properties to conclude the first optimistic algorithms for efficien

The implementation of successful assured forwarding (AF) services according to the DiffServ framework remains a challenging problem today, despite the numerous proposals for AF PHB mechanisms and AF-based service implementations. In this work, we propose two modules, the TCP-window aware marker (TWAM) and the dynamic WRED (DWRED) mechanism for implementing the DiffServ AF PHB. We provide analytical models and an experimental evaluation in order to demonstrate how they succeed in enhancing the quality, increasing fairness, improving the performance and easing the deployment of a production- level AF-based service.

In this paper, we first present and compare existing categorization schemes for neuro-symbolic approaches. We then stress the point that not all hybrid neuro-symbolic approaches can be accommodated by existing categories. Such a case is rule-based neuro-symbolic approaches that propose a unified knowledge representation scheme suitable for use in expert systems. That kind of integrated schemes have the two component approaches tightly and indistinguishably integrated, offer an interactive inference engine and can provide explanations. Therefore, we introduce a new category of neuro-symbolic integrations, namely ‘representational integrations’. Furthermore, two sub-categories of representational integrations are distinguished, based on which of the two component approaches of the integrations is given pre-eminence. Representative approaches as well as advantages and disadvantages of both sub-categories are discussed.

This paper presents the work that is taking place in the Region of Western Greece in order to develop state-of-the-art broadband infrastructure. The current status of broadband infrastructure in the region is being analyzed and the main principles on which the deployment of the networks will be based on is being described, by presenting the metropolitan area networks and the wireless access networks that will be developed. Two case studies of such municipal networks are also presented in this paper

In this paper a quantum computer based on the recombination processes happening in semiconductor devices is presented. A “data element” and a “computational element” are derived based on Schokley‐Read‐Hall statistics and they can later be used in order to manifest a simple and known quantum algorithm. Such a paradigm is shown by the application of the proposed technology onto the Shor’s period‐finding algorithm.

Enterprise integration is significant for the enforcement of novel business models in an enterprise/industry. The great heterogeneity of systems/applications in the enterprise environment requires the introduction of interoperability aspects in order to resolve integration problems in a flexible and dynamic way. Our approach introduces an advanced enterprise semantic model representing both enterprise structure and available services, through the use of ontologies. The model is associated by a specific architecture that uses the above model in combination with state-of-the-art technologies such as Web services and workflows

The pDSL technology is used for providing multiple, high-speed broadband links over power lines in the indoor environment This work addresses the problem of bandwidth allocation between the various links of a pDSL network and proposes an algorithm for determining the allocation of the various subchannels during network activation and periodically during the normal network operation. The paper also demonstrates the performance of the proposed algorithm using an illustrative example.
