PDM Systems contain and manage heavy amount of data but the search mechanism of most of the systems is not intelligent which can process user"s natural language based queries to extract desired information. Currently available search mechanisms in almost all of the PDM systems are not very efficient and based on old ways of searching information by entering the relevant information to the respective fields of search forms to find out some specific information from attached repositories. Targeting this issue, a thorough research was conducted in fields of PDM Systems and Language Technology. Concerning the PDM System, conducted research provides the information about PDM and PDM Systems in detail. Concerning the field of Language Technology, helps in implementing a search mechanism for PDM Systems to search user"s needed information by analyzing user"s natural language based requests. The accomplished goal of this research was to support the field of PDM with a new proposition of a conceptual model for the implementation of natural language based search. The proposed conceptual model is successfully designed and partially implementation in the form of a prototype. Describing the proposition in detail the main concept, implementation designs and developed prototype of proposed approach is discussed in this paper. Implemented prototype is compared with respective functions of existing PDM systems .i.e., Windchill and CIM to evaluate its effectiveness against targeted challenges.
In this research paper we address the importance of Product Data Management (PDM) with respect to its contributions in industry. Moreover we also present some currently available major challenges to PDM communities and targeting some of these challenges we present an approach i.e. I-SOAS, and briefly discuss how this approach can be helpful in solving the PDM community's faced problems. Furthermore, limiting the scope of this research to one challenge, we focus on the implementation of a semantic based search mechanism in PDM Systems. Going into the details, at first we describe the respective field i.e. Language Technology (LT), contributing towards natural language processing, to take advantage in implementing a search engine capable of understanding the semantic out of natural language based search queries. Then we discuss how can we practically take advantage of LT by implementing its concepts in the form of software application with the use of semantic web technology i.e. Ontology. Later, in the end of this research paper, we briefly present a prototype application developed with the use of concepts of LT towards semantic based search.
It is necessary to improve the concepts of the present web based graphical user interface for the development of more flexible and intelligent interface to provide ease and increase the level of comfort at user end like most of the desktop based applications. This research is conducted targeting the goal of implementing flexible GUI consisting of a visual component manager with different components by functionality, design and purpose. In this research paper we present a Rich Internet Application (RIA) based graphical user interface for web based product development, and going into the details we present a comparison between existing RIA Technologies, adopted methodology in the GUI development and developed prototype.
In this short paper I briefly discuss 3D war Game based on artificial intelligence concepts called AI WAR. Going in to the details, I present the importance of CAICL language and how this language is used in AI WAR. Moreover I also present a designed and implemented 3D War Cybug for AI WAR using CAICL and discus the implemented strategy to defeat its enemies during the game life.
Product Data Management (PDM) aims to provide 'Systems' contributing in industries by electronically maintaining organizational data, improving data repository system, facilitating with easy access to CAD and providing additional information engineering and management modules to access, store, integrate, secure, recover and manage information. Targeting one of the unresolved issues i.e., provision of natural language based processor for the implementation of an intelligent record search mechanism, an approach is proposed and discussed in detail in this manuscript. Designing an intelligent application capable of reading and analyzing user's structured and unstructured natural language based text requests and then extracting desired concrete and optimized results from knowledge base is still a challenging task for the designers because it is still very difficult to completely extract Meta data out of raw data. Residing within the limited scope of current research and development; we present an approach capable of reading user's natural language based input text, understanding the semantic and extracting results from repositories. To evaluate the effectiveness of implemented prototyped version of proposed approach, it is compared with some existing PDM Systems, in the end the discussion is concluded with an abstract presentation of resultant comparison amongst implemented prototype and some existing PDM Systems.
World Wide Web (WWW) is the most popular global information sharing and communication system consisting of three standards .i.e., Uniform Resource Identifier (URL), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML). Information is provided in text, image, audio and video formats over the web by using HTML which is considered to be unconventional in defining and formalizing the meaning of the context...
Web development is a challenging research area for its creativity and complexity. The existing raised key challenge in web technology technologic development is the presentation of data in machine read and process able format to take advantage in knowledge based information extraction and maintenance. Currently it is not possible to search and extract optimized results using full text queries because there is no such mechanism exists which can fully extract the semantic from full text queries and then look for particular knowledge based information.
The four intensive problems to the software rose by the software industry .i.e., User System Communication / Human Machine Interface, Meta Data extraction, Information processing & management and Data representation are discussed in this research paper. To contribute in the field we have proposed and described an intelligent semantic oriented agent based search engine including the concepts of intelligent graphical user interface, natural language based information processing, data management and data reconstruction for the final user end information representation.
