A Meta-Level Architecture for Adaptive
Applications |
| Author(s): |
F. Barth,
E. Gomi |
| Abstract: |
The goal of this work is to investigate meta-level
architectures for adaptive systems development. The main application
area is user modeling for mobile and digital TV systems. To
analyze the behavior of the meta-level architecture, experiments
with interface adaptive systems were made. The experiments
showed that it is possible to reuse the components responsible
for the user modeling by creating them as stable meta-level
components. |

Adaptive Finite State Automata
and Genetic Algorithms: Merging Individual Adaptation and
Population Evolution |
| Author(s): |
Hemerson Pistori,
Priscila S. Martins,
Amaury A. de Castro Jr. |
| Abstract: |
This paper presents adaptive finite state automata
as an alternative formalism to model individuals in a genetic
algorithm environment. Adaptive finite state automata, which
are basically finite state automata that can change their
internal structures during operation, have proven to be an
attractive way to represent simple learning strategies. We
argue that the merging of adaptive finite state automata and
GA results in an elegant and appropriate environment to explore
the impact of individual adaptation, during lifetime, on population
evolution. |

Modeling a tool for the generation
of programming environments for adaptive formalisms |
| Author(s): |
A.R. Camolesi |
| Abstract: |
This paper aims to present the logical model
that makes up the structure of a tool for the definition of
environments for rule-driven adaptive formalisms. |

Adaptive Decision Tables: A Case
Study of their Application to Decision-Taking Problems |
| Author(s): |
T.C.Pedrazzi,
A.H.Tchemra,
R.L.A.Rocha |
| Abstract: |
Decision tables have been used traditionally in the solution
of problems involving decision-taking tasks. In this paper,
adaptive devices based on decision tables are used for the
solution of decision-taking problems. The resulting adaptive
decision tables have shown to be effective for their generality
and flexibility, so they are appropriate for helping in the
task of automatically choosing among several applicable alternatives
at each stage in the process of decision taking. An illustrating
example is shown in the business management field, and an
overall comparative evaluation is shown. |

Robotic mapping and navigation
in unknown environments using adaptive automata. |
| Author(s): |
Miguel Angelo de Abreu
de Sousa,
André Riyuiti Hirakawa |
| Abstract: |
Real mobile robots should be able to build an
abstract representation of the physical environment, in order
to navigate and work in such environment. This paper presents
an adaptive way to make such representation without any a
priori information of the place. The proposed system allows
the robot to explore the entire environment and acquire the
information incoming from the sensors while it travels and,
due to the adaptability inherent to the mapping method, the
system is capable to increase the memory usage according to
the already mapped area. The map, built using the adaptive
technique, is useful to provide navigation information for
the robot, allowing it to move on the environment. |

An Adaptive Framework for the Design
of Software Specification Languages |
| Author(s): |
João José
Neto,
Paulo Sérgio Muniz Silva |
| Abstract: |
Software specifications may be viewed as theories elaborated
for application domains. A useful strategy for building specifications
is the incremental extension of an initial theory, in which
increments add new terms and notions not considered in previous
extensions. Given an increment, the corresponding theory is
stated in a corresponding specification language. The next
increment – or extension of the theory – typically
requires a related language extension. Adaptive devices naturally
support such scheme, whose instances should reflect the impact
of extension variations on the specification language. This
paper describes an adaptive framework for the design of a
class of software specification languages supporting the incremental
process of elaborating software specifications. |
