Wise, Michael J. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Protein Annotators' Assistant (PAA) is a software system which assists protein annotators in assigning functions to newly sequenced proteins. PAA employs a number of information retrieval techniques in a novel setting and is thus related to text categorization, where multiple categories may be suggested, except that in this case none of the…

Wehrs, William E. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Computer-assisted advising can be an effective support for conventional academic advising. A shell-based expert system allows computer-assisted advising without automated student records, because students maintain and input their own records into the system. The Expert System for Advising Undergraduates (ESAU) used in the management department of…

Klein, Gary L. – 1988
This paper describes the use of video to provide a screenplay depiction of a proposed artificial intelligence software system. Advantages of such use are identified: (1) the video can be used to provide a clear conceptualization of the proposed system; (2) it can illustrate abstract technical concepts; (3) it can simulate the functions of the…

Van Aalst, J. W.; And Others – Computers & Education, 1995
An interactive multimedia tutorial system that focuses on the "why" aspect of user interface design is described. The system contains a design exercise, three experts for guidance, and a user group that comments on the usability of the design. Testing results indicate that learners consider more possible solutions to design issues. (Author/AEF)

Pole, Thomas – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Defines the contextual classification model, comparing it to the traditional metadata models from which it evolved. Using the MetaData Object Manager (M.O.M) as an example, discusses the use of Contextual Classification in developing this system, and the organizational, performance and reliability advantages of using an external (to the data…
