T he system provides apartment type accommodation located close to the campus with full condominium facilities, which includes swimming pool, launderettes, clubhouses, restaurants, 24 hr security and etc. All units are furnished with basic amenities, including a living room set, dining room set, air conditioning, washing machine, kitchen and bedroom furniture. Internet Access and Satellite TV are complementary for Deluxe Accommodation. Student can also rent apartments at their own. Rental of a 3-bedroom furnished apartment unit at Vista Komanwel Apartments ranges from RM1, 500 to RM1, 800 per month. On a six-student per unit sharing basis, rental for each student ranges between RM 350 to RM 500 per month. Condominium facilities such as cafeteria, swimming pool, laundrette and convenience stores are available for students. 24-hour security coverage is provided to ensure the safety of residents and students. Please note that the apartment’s rental rates may change from time to time. The apartments are located opposite the main entrance to Technology Park Malaysia (TPM). Rental of these 2-bedroom apartments range from RM 900 to RM 1,200. Laundrette facilities and convenience stores are available within the apartments. 24-hour security coverage is provided to ensure the safety of residents and students.

Identification and Surveys This system expert can also be replace the use http://webspace.apiit.edu.my/ and is also suitable for helping student to look for the right apartment. The important of this expert system can be shown by the following ways: 1. Student are able to know the price of apartment which they are looking and also where is located. 2. Student are able to know the specification of the apartment they looking for, for example condominium facilities, which includes swimming pool, launderettes, clubhouses, 24 hours security. 3. By using this system the student have a wide variety of apartment to choose. 4. In term of security the system shows clearly the safety of the apartment for the students. 5. Its show the exterior and the interior features (environment) of the apartment. When there is no internet. Internet sometimes it can have its own failures, so in situation like that this Verbot system that I have implemented is very useful as it is being run without the availability of the internet.

The need for the system
Basically this system is needed as it will be able to benefit those who are regional areas (remote) whereby there cannot access the internet to check Apiit/UCTI accommodation. This system is also needed as it is able to help the users who do not have credit for them to access the internet or to be connected, therefore this system more suitable and the best solution to that kind of people. The other thing about this system is that it has better advantage because is implemented as it is very fast unlike the internet which has to link too many pages which sometimes they are not available.

Aims and Benefits * As time passes we are aiming at improvising the access to the resources that they can be found in http://webspace.apiit.edu.my/ accommodation. * By using this system we are able to reduce the cost for labour, as well be able to use computer instead of human ability being asked regarding the business. * When it comes to the management they waste a lot of time trying to explain the system by word of mouth, but we are aiming to reduce the time is wasted by the managers. * The main objective of this system is to make sure that people get used to some new technologies for example the system we have design, speaking with the computer instead of speaking with a consultant or a manager regarding a certain field of accommodation. * One more thing is reducing the cost that people spends to access the resource online.

Domain Expert and User
Basically this system of ours (APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert) is a combination of other main system that is in APIIT University, for example APIIT transport system, security system, and also mode of payment system. Therefore we see that our system is a combination of all those system, by having combined all the system this makes our system to be of higher quality as the student and stuff can be able to ask about accommodation, safety and others.

Users
APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert can be used by students, stuff and other user like researchers, and every one who can be in need of knowing something about the system.

Knowledge Acquisition

Strategy I used
Basically I have managed to collect information basing mostly on APIIT website. My plan was to collect as much information as would be needed by student/stuff, by that I made sure that I checked all the available materials regarding APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert in order to familiarise myself with that kind of knowledge.
My lecture Mrs I acquired data from her concerning the system and I also even asked random question online regarding the APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert thing the security and how they maintain the apartment also how they pay they employees and other things. The main point is that I wanted to have a general knowledge regarding this system APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert that I have implemented.

Process of acquiring knowledge
I managed using many websites for acquiring more knowledge regarding APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert. Problems and solutions * Some other websites were not providing the relevant information I wanted to know and also they were unrealistic, In this case I wished I could get the relevant material for example sample system that I can learn from it. * Other problem is that some of the website were not easy to allocate then therefore had tough time.
Solution
* I managed to use other different web browser and different searching techniques, which I managed to have the information that I was looking for. * I used different software like Flash player as other software couldn’t open that. * I practice by socializing with high level student to acquire some knowledge.

Evaluation of Prototype
This system is very beneficial because we took time to compiling it with some other people (users) who are eligible to be experts. With time we made sure that the system we created, we had to test it with the way we wanted it to perform.

Performance/ Achievement

This system (APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert) is very fast and reliable as it is just dependent on its own. The system will be able to save or achieve cost reduction to the user where by APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert as they will be implemented and reduces the waste of capital that was used for paying the employees who are support the work by manual.
In time our system will be to introduce users to the usage of interactive means with the computer. Therefore users will be able to reach a certain awareness of Artificial Intelligence.

Further Improvement

Our major objective is to make sure our system (APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert) get access to the internet for getting the newly upcoming institution accommodation rather than the user being the one who loads them into the system.
With time our system will be able to join APIIT/UCTI website and updates new accommodation and the current ones, because currently I am the one who loads this system with APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert. In future the system will be programmed to download every necessary information of a newly accommodation apartments for the intuition. Which will reduce wasting time?

Special Features

Our system (APIIT /UCTI accommodation system expert) contains some specials features which make it user friendly, and therefore it can be able to provide users with relevant outputs.

Variable

In our system we have allocated variables so that the system can be able to store and even remember the user within time. Verbot Editor 5 software will remember your details by the use of variables for example we have used a variable name [yes] the software will remember what kind of question contains the answer yes. Therefore in my system that is one of the variable have used and also how I implemented the use of variables.

It shows or starts by introducing by the name

Tags

The verbot Editor 5 software contain inbuilt with some special input to make the software expert express emotions with the instruction, therefore this gives a stronger essence of interacting with users. We have special input like: bored, Sad, Angry, Smile, and etc. this special tag makes the system real, for example in case the user is just idling for about a minute or so that the time which has been set for the user to respond to the system will show that it’s bored.

Inputs
These are special words that are used to make the verbot Editor 5 respond in a certain way. The types of inputs are start up inputs and blank space, they show when a condition has been met for example when the user when he/she inputs nothing or wrong answer the system player will output telling the user to input something or ignore it by living a blank space.

Agent
Agent is something capable of intelligent behaviour as described by Henry Brighton (2003).
The Verbot Skin Editor currently allows you to create skin files which can be loaded into the Verbot Player. Skins include information such as screen size, colors, and agent to use when the skin is loaded.

The Architecture of Expert Systems Knowledge Acquisition Representing the Knowledge The Inference Engine The Rete-Algorithm The User Interface What is an Expert System? Jackson (1999) provides us with the following definition: An expert system is a computer program that represents and reasons with knowledge of some specialist subject with a view to solving problems or giving advice. To solve expert-level problems, expert systems will need efficient access to a substantial domain knowledge base, and a reasoning mechanism to apply the knowledge to the problems they are given. Usually they will also need to be able to explain, to the users who rely on them, how they have reached their decisions. They will generally build upon the ideas of knowledge representation, production rules, search, and so on, that we have already covered. Often we use an expert system shell which is an existing knowledge independent framework into which domain knowledge can be inserted to produce a working expert system. We can thus avoid having to program each new system from scratch. w9-2 Typical Tasks for Expert Systems There are no fundamental limits on what problem domains an expert system can be built to deal with. Some typical existing expert system tasks include: 1. The interpretation of data Such as sonar data or geophysical measurements 2. Diagnosis of malfunctions Such as equipment faults...

...An Expert System for Industrial Machine Vision Yoshifumi KITMURA, Hiroaki SATO, and Hideyuki TAMURA Information Systems Research Center, Canon Inc. Kashimada, Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki 21 1, Japan Abstract An expert system for vision algorithm design is presented. Its knowledge-base includes human experts' knowledge about image processing techniques, and is capable of solving given vision problems. As a problem domain, we choose vision algorithms for a parts-feeder, which determines the attitude of mechanical parts on a conveyor-belt and rejects parts with inappropriate attitudes. The expert system for parts feeder is designed to consist of three components: FSE (Feature selection expert), IPE (Image processing expert), DTG (Decision tree generator). The knowledge for vision algorithm design to determine parts attitude is discussed. A framework to represent knowledge for finding solutions for pattern classificationproblem is established. 1. Introduction Recently, several expert systems for image processing have been investigated[1][2][3]. Their knowledge-basesinclude human experts' knowledge about image processing techniques, and can generate a sequence of image processing operations to solve the given problem. DIA-Expert system (Digital-Image-Analysis Expert System)[4] is a typical example. When an input image and the goal of analysis are given, it continues to decompose the goal into subgoals until the sequence of executable image processing modules could be found. Here, we...

These data are usually strongly influenced by the consolidated experience of the operators, by the specific previous similar machining cases and by several other factors depending on the machining practices. In a project, financed by the Swiss national organization for the industrial research, the authors have developed an expert system (ES) in order to get this information through software processes. The paper shows the structure of this expert system. The ES has been realized through the definition of ontology of components and elements of the machining. The ES includes a very large data base of cutting parameters, and is based on the establishment of rules for the competition between the machining strategies. The ES includes learning methods which are able to identify similar operations. The learning...

...Expert Systems Expert Systems are computer systems which embody some of the experience and specialised knowledge of an expert and thereby mimic the expert and act as a consultant in a particular area. Knowledge is often represented in an Expert System in a knowledge base, which is a network of interconnected rules which represent the human expertise. Expert Systems fall into a field known as Artificial Intelligence. This field is concerned with the development of computer intelligence. The goal of Artificial Intelligence is to develop computers that can think, as well as see, hear, walk, talk and feel. A major thrust of Artificial Intelligence is the development of computer functions normally associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning and problem solving. Advances in computer processing power open the way for wider use of so-called Artificial Intelligence, at the same time that the self-serve aspect of online processes has increased the need for systems that "think." As time goes on and as patterns change, the computer learns because it is constantly being given cause and effect.

...EXPERT SYSTEMS Advantages • The computer can store far more information than a GP. It can draw on a wide variety of sources such as stored knowledge from books, case studies to help in diagnosis and advice on things such as prescriptions / symptoms • The computer does not 'forget' or make mistakes – remembers obscure cases of heart diseases • Data can be kept up-to-date e.g. adding more results of radiology scans / constant updating • The expert system is always available 24 hours a day. • Will never 'retire'. • The system can be used at a distance over a network. Therefore rural areas or even poorer third world countries have access to experts. • Provides accurate predictions with probabilities of all possible problems with more accurate advice especially for obscure illnesses • Some people prefer the privacy of 'talking' to a computer rather than talking to a GP • Gives the doctor more time to deal with other patients / saves overloading doctors in epidemic/pandemic / more time to deal with serious cases • Can provide a second opinion • It can help train young doctors in unfamiliar diseases. • People can do an initial diagnosis from home saving them travel and time costs especially if in a rural area or have long waiting lists to see a GP, e.g. if you suspect your child has a rash you could quickly check the symptoms for meningitis.

...Expert systems are computer applications that combine computer equipment, software, and specialized information to imitate expert human reasoning and advice. As a branch of artificial intelligence, expert systems provide discipline-specific advice and explanation to their users. While artificial intelligence is a broad field covering many aspects of computer-generated thought, expert systems are more narrowly focused. Typically, expert systems function best with specific activities or problems and a discrete database of digitized facts, rules, cases, and models. Expert systems are used widely in commercial and industrial settings, including medicine, finance, manufacturing, and sales. As a software program, the expert system integrates a searching and sorting program with a knowledge database. The specific searching and sorting program for an expert system is known as the inference engine. The inference engine contains all the systematic processing rules and logic associated with the problem or task at hand. Mathematical probabilities often serve as the basis for many expert systems. The second component—the knowledge database—stores necessary factual, procedural, and experiential information representing expert knowledge. Through a procedure known as knowledge transfer, expertise (or those skills and knowledge that sustain a much better than average performance) passes from human expert to knowledge engineer. The knowledge engineer actually creates and structures the knowledge...

Dreyfus Model

...The Dreyfus Model Introduction: Dreyfus brothers have stated a theory which depicts the stages of an individual's progression in achieving professional expertise. They have been broken down into a series of five stages: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. The phenomenological model states that an expertise in any skill and medical skill, in particular, cannot be captured by the rule-based expert system. It argues that the expertise is said to be an unconscious and automatic performance which cannot be programmed. Thus, the progression is explained to be a gradual transition from a strict rule adherence to an intuitive mode of judgement. The authur assumes that intuition arises though expertise. Thus an expert system would not be able to rise over the level of competence. Dreyfus emphasises on experience (non-analytical) over rules(analytical). The main theme revolves around the following five stages: The Novice: Dreyfus Model explains that a novice should follow memorise and follow rules without feeling any responsibility of judgement or perception. He would need to be monitored either by self-observation or through instructional feedback. This would help the novice concentrate and internalise the rules and procedures. Dreyfus believes that the task environment is decomposed into context-free features so that a beginner can easily follow the instructions without actually knowing the desired skill. In this stage the beginner is merely following rules...

Gis and Hazards

...Identify and discuss reasons why you think GIS technology currently requires technical experts to apply it in crisis management situations. What are the key issues that need to be addressed? Suppose you had funding resources to combat this problem, where and why would you spend that money? The debate that surrounds the issue of GIS expertise in emergency management seemingly stems from the identity and capabilities of practitioners in crisis management situations. The first or local responders in crisis situations in all likelihood will be police, fire or medical response units; who although highly skilled will not be required to possess any substantial amount of GIS knowledge. Although this observation is simplistic, the cyclical nature and/or role of GIS within emergency management convey the link between GIS expertise and emergency management. The cyclical presence of GIS in the emergency response cycle for example displays how the discipline can be involved in the process of preparedness due to its role in the process of rescue. The presence of GIS expertise in emergency management can be in part explained by the want and desire on the part GIS professionals to retain the consistency and integrity of data pertaining to any given hazard or disaster. This endeavour to build and maintain a reliable data stream facilitates more accurate and thorough long term analysis leading to the delivery of relevant short term information.

Benefit of Dss

...Benefits of DSS Decision support systems are computer systems that assist the user in complex problem solving or decision-making. They are an integrated approach to the age-old problem of helping people make better decisions. Decision support sys-tems typically have quantitative output and place emphasis on the end user for final problem solving and decision-making. An expert system (ES) is another computer tool used for decision-making. Expert systems use qualitative rather than quantitative reasoning. They perform at a level generally recognized as equivalent to that of a human expert or special-ist in a particular field. Often, ES are developed around very specific and highly detailed “domains” and thus tend to be narrow in their range of knowledge. The use of DSS within animal production allows produc-ers to integrate information into more useable forms and enhances management skills through improved decision-making and increased capacity for benefit:cost and risk analyses, and DSS allows comparisons of the cost-effectiveness of various production alternatives. They can reduce costs of production and improve productivity and sustainability by matching livestock requirements to feed inputs. As well, they can be used as education tools to in-crease the effectiveness of educating current and future gen-erations of primary producers and service agents. In addition, DSS can be used to test alternative animal production strate-gies that would take years to determine using traditional...

The Case of the Software Proposal

...After hearing about an expert system that analyzed an application and said to write it at substandard when the company's best underwriter had decided it was standard, Chief information officer, Dennis Devereaux, and vice president of information systems planning, Max Vargo, are about to request $1 million to develop an expert system for Linda Peterson's property and casualty (P & C) underwriting department. They've discussed the expert system with President Bill Hayes, CFO Hal Atkins, and other members of the capital expense committee and for the most part felt it would be approved, however some members of the CEC, including Bill Hayes, are leaning against the expert system project. After much discussion, it boiled down to putting together some fancy slides of the data to show how expert systems make fewer mistakes than human experts and how much time it takes to process an application with and without the system. The expert systems proposal is intended to make a fundamental change in the way the company does business, but it is being presented and judged as an information technology project. Only the line organizations can justify investing in the expert systems proposal by projecting improvements in their operating performance, and they do not appear to be partners in the proposal. The mere thought of Integrating the various expert system into existing databases and other systems will be problematic, and agents will face chaos rather than a single interface...

Knowledge Based Systems

...What is a knowledge-based system? A system which is built around a knowledge base. i.e. a collection of knowledge, taken from a human, and stored in such a way that the system can reason with it. Example: System: What is the patient's name? User: George Smith System: What is the patient's age? User: 52 years System: Is the patient male or female? User: Male System: What are the symptoms? User: Headache dizziness upset stomach high fever System: When did these symptoms first appear? User: 23/03/2002 System: I conclude that the patient has a viral infection , my recommendation is that he should take two aspirin, drink plenty of fluid, get lots of rest. What is knowledge? Knowledge is the sort of information that people use to solve problems. Knowledge includes facts, concepts, procedures, models, heuristics, etc. Knowledge may be: * specific or general * exact or fuzzy * procedural or declarative What is an expert system? * A particular kind of knowledge-based system * One in which the knowledge, stored in the knowledge base, has been taken from an expert in some particular field.

Erp and Expert Systems

...Expert Systems Hema Rohira IT-620-8035-Info Resource Management-01/2013 01/13/2013 Professor: Carol Farabee, Abstract Expert systems (ESs) are applications of artificial intelligence, that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert. ESs are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, like an expert (Wikepedia). There are expert systems that can diagnose human illnesses, make financial forecasts, and schedule routes for delivery vehicles.
