Plovdiv faces significant air pollution challenges due to geographic, climatic, and industrial factors, making accurate quality assessment critical. This study presents a hybrid multi-agent platform that integrates symbolic sub-symbolic artificial intelligence improve the reliability of monitoring. The features BDI agent, developed using JaCaMo, for processing real-time sensor measurements ReAct implemented with LangChain, incorporate external data sources perform advanced analytics. By...
This paper presents a reference architecture known as Virtual Physical Space which can be adapted to build Internet of Things applications in various domains. The close relationship under Cyber-Physical Spaces, and Cyber-Physical-Social Spaces are also discussed. Furthermore, the basic building components proposed presented paper.
This paper presents test environment that is intended to support e-learning in software engineering education. The part of the Virtual Education Space and consists two operatives named Questioner Operatives. They automatic generation assessment questions by using ontologies. These are implemented as intelligent agents use structured educational content (an ontology Unified Modeling Language domain) generate assess different types questions, according QTI (Questions Test Interoperability...
Training in STEM centers is becoming increasingly relevant order to meet the new educational needs caused mainly by rapid speed with which technologies have been entering our lives recent years. Existing university e-learning systems can enhance capacity of these providing shared learning material. This paper presents a distributed platform that supports sharable usage teaching material at and secondary schools. The architecture also presented including two basic components. environment...
Abstract This paper presents an environment which generates tests automatically. It is designed for assistance in the software engineering education and part of Virtual Education Space. The has two functionalities – generation assessment different types test questions. In paper, architecture described detail. supported by specialized ontologies, are served intelligent agents known as Questioner Operative Assessment Operative.
This article summarizes the results of a research conducted to create an intelligent platform supporting small farmers growing vegetables. In Bulgaria, many use relatively areas for their production. Considering this situation, is designed regional use, trying make maximum specific climatic features monitored microdistrict. Consequently, special attention paid possibilities adapting environment in which observed plants grow. Thus, implemented as agent-oriented system providing needed...
The Distributed eLearning Center (DeLC) is a portal, providing extensive support in the day-to-day work when it comes to e-learning content – helps students and teachers organize their learning materials, fill gaps knowledge (for students) educational approaches teachers), conduct exams, overall, with proactive personalized environment. scope of DeLC as project involves many extensions, covering aspects learning, teaching, collecting statistical information. Such extension an agent-oriented...
The concept of the Internet Things (IoT) is closely related to concepts Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and Cyber-Physical-Social (CPSS). A key feature these technologies integration virtual physical world. In this paper, an environment for ambient-oriented modeling called AmbiNet presented. implemented as a component reference architecture known Virtual Physical Space (ViPS) that can be adapted CPSS applications in various domains, example smart city, personal touristic guide, or education....
The paper presents the development of an ontology for plant genetic resources in Gene bank Institute Plant Genetic Resources town Sadovo. structure and metadata are exhibited along with each concepts properties order to present knowledge about using capabilities benefits ontologies. was developed on basis taxonomy EURISCO European standard.
Learning is a highly complex process that has many different aspects of goals, flows, content and knowledge management, sharing, enhancement provisioning. In order to serve real education process, Virtual Education Space (VES) specified as an intelligent, context-aware, scenario-oriented IoT ecosystem being implemented in the Faculty Mathematics Informatics at University Plovdiv. This paper presents approach aiming expanding space for lifelong learning. Furthermore, supporting assistants,...
