Module division

I. Adaptive Systems & User Modeling course

II. Project work

Adaptive System course parts1. Adaptive Systems, Generalities:

• Motivational aspects: natural AS, ex. from different domains

• soft vs. hard, I-O issues of AS, goal, adaptive vs. adaptable

2. User ModelingGoal, history, academic developments, I-O issues of UM,

techniques, economical developments, future

3. Data representation & manipulation for AS1. Symbolic example: Concept Maps

2. Subsymbolic example: Neural Networks I (data representation)

4. Subsymbolic Knowledge Part – cont.:1. Neural Networks II (data manipulation)

2. Adaptive Systems, invited talk: Genetic Algorithms
