Sommario/riassunto

Automatic course generation is a very important area of research with numerous practical applications in e-learning. It has been studied since the 1980s within the fields of intelligent tutoring, AI and education, adaptive hypermedia and web-based educational systems. Many approaches have been proposed, but hardly any have resulted in generic and practically applied systems. A number of problems have remained unresolved. These problems are addressed by this work. This book focuses on course generation based on Hierarchical Task Network planning (HTN planning). This course generation framework enables the formalization and application of complex and realistic pedagogical knowledge. The volume describes basic techniques for course generation, which are used to formalize seven different types of courses (for instance, introducing the learner to previously unknown concepts and supporting the learner during rehearsal) and several elementary learning goals (e.g., selecting an appropriate example or exercise). This framework has been implemented and evaluated with



good results in several domains, with users from different countries and universities, in the context of an EU project. Course generation based on HTN planning is implemented in PAIGOS and has been evaluated by technical, formative and summative evaluations.

Sommario/riassunto

This book deals with computer performance by addressing basic preconditions. Besides general considerations about performance, several new approaches are presented. One of them targets memory structures by introducing the possibility of overlapping non-interfering (virtual) address spaces. This approach is based on a newly developed jump transformation between different symbol spaces. Another approach deals with efficiency and accuracy in scientific calculations. Finally the concept of a Neural Relational Data Base Management System is introduced and the performance potential of quantum computers assessed.
