Applying this approach to a pedagogical agent is an essential part to enhance the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process of an intelligent learning system. This work focuses on the design of the inference engine that will give life to the interface, where the latter is represented by a pedagogical agent. The inference engine is based on an affective-motivational model. This model is implemented by using artificial intelligence technique called fuzzy cognitive maps.展开更多

In this work, we study the existence of renormalized solutions for a class of nonlinear parabolic systems with three unbounded nonlinearities, in the form { b1（x,u1）/ t-div（a（x,t,u1,Du1））＋div（Ф1（u1））＋f1（x,u1,u2）=O in Q, b2（x,u2）/ t-div（a（x,t,u2,Du2））＋div（Ф2（u2））＋f2（x,u1,u2）=O in Q in the framework of weighted Sobolev spaces, where b（x,u） is unbounded function on u, the Carath6odory function ai satisfying the coercivity condition, the general growth condition and only the large monotonicity, the function Фi is assumed to be continuous on ]R and not belong to （Lloc1（Q））N.展开更多

Each smartphone has the functionality of sending and receiving SMS (Short Message Service) messages, which pose a significant threat to all users, as it makes any device vulnerable to a malware attack. In particular, worm-type malware takes advantage of this means of communication in order to spread. Studying the dynamics of malware propagation can help understand and prevent massive contagion between mobile devices. In this work, a model based on Network Automata and compartmental epidemiological models is presented, aiming to simulate, analyze and study the spread of worm-like malware through sending SMS on smartphones.展开更多
