In our discussion of the rationality of the simple vacuum-cleaner agent, we had to specify the performance measure. the environment, and the agent's actuators and sensors. We group all these under the heading of the task environment. For the acronymically minded, we call PEAS this the PEAS (Performance, Environment, Actuators, Sensors) description. In designing an agent, the first step must always be to specify the task environment as filly as possible The vacuum world was a simple exa...

Given this scenario different interpretations have been used by different researchers as defining the scope and view of Artificial Intelligence. 1. One view is that artificial intelligence is about designing systems that are as intelligent as humans.  This view involves trying to understand human thought and an effort to build machines that emulate the human thought process.  This view is the cognitive science approach to AI. 2. The second approach is best embodied by the con...

AI Course Overview The course provides students with basic knowledge of the theory and practice of Artificial Intelligence as a discipline concerning intelligent agents capable of deciding what to do and doing it. The material covered includes search algorithms, knowledge representation and reasoning, as well as a brief introduction to several sub-fields of AI. The course objectives are: ° To have an appreciation for and understanding of both the achievements of AI and the theor...

SCO105 DATA COMMUNICATION COMPUTER NETWORKING ( Course Outline )

The Internet is one of the most important developments in the history of both information systems and communication systems because it is both an information system and a communication system. The Internet was started by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1969 as a network of four computers called ARPANET. Its goal was to link a set of computers operated by several universities doing military research. The original network grew as more computers and more computer networks were linked to it. ...

The objective of the course is to enable the student apply a high level language for solution of simple scientific problems, and for this purpose to manipulate the inputs/outputs of a computer Programme using Object Oriented Programming Techniques. Objectives At the end of the course a student is expected to: • Know all the high level language representation of mathematical functions • effectively use the different data types and variables, viz., numbers, character, and logical variable...

Java is platform independent. This means that it will run on just about any operating system. So whether your computer runs Windows, Linux, Mac OS, it's all the same to Java! The reason it can run on any operating system is because of the Java Virtual Machine. The Virtual Machine is a programme that processes all your code correctly. So you need to install this programme (Virtual Machine) before you can run any Java code. Java is owned by a company called Sun Microsystems, so you need to head ...

It is a type of programming in which programmers define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations (functions) that can be applied to the data structure. In this way, the data structure becomes an object that includes both data and functions. In addition, programmers can create relationships between one object and another. For example, objects can inherit characteristics from other objects. One of the principal advantages of object-oriented programming techniqu...
