TESTBED [20 fiches]

Fiche 1 2017-11-24

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Graphics
OBS

Testbed for problems in distributed AI development : one important use of the testbed is in changing variables in the network to see how the change affects the network as a whole. One such variable is the compulsory nature of node communication... A second variable is whether each node is self-directed or is directed by another node(or by a central processor).

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • School Equipment
CONT

The interesting fact is that one of the sources of inspiration for the designers of computer-based learning environments is, as for the designers of intelligent teaching systems, the subject of artificial intelligence.

CONT

The teaching of AI programming appears, on the face of it, to be an excellent testbed for the design and implementation of intelligent teaching systems.

CONT

While the students are getting a chance to exercise their knowledge, the "intelligent" instructional systems ... attempt to mimic the capabilities of a laboratory instructor.

OBS

We use the term "intelligent educational system" (IES) to weaken the association with authoritarian tutoring of a student by an expert, and to emphasise that a wide variety of types of interaction can and should occur between learners and IESs.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The US Navy’s Fleet Satellite Communications System (FLTSATCOM) is a constellation of five operational satellites used by both the Navy and Air Force as well as the presidential command network. The system with a design life of five years, serves as a secure communications link between the three users. Each satellite has 23 communications channels, 10 of which are used by the Navy for communication between its land forces, ships and aircraft. The Air Force uses 12 of the channels as part of its satellite communications system for command and control of nuclear forces. One channel is reserved for US national command authorities.

CONT

FLTSATCOM systems feature a main transmitting antenna that is 11 feet in diameter and surrounded by wire mesh screen. The body itself is hexagonal and is 8 inches wide and 4 feet tall. Two improved satellites recently joined four FLTSATCOM originals in orbit to extend the operation of the system well into the 1990s. The new systems carry an experimental extra-high-frequency package as a testbed for terminals being developed for the Milstar communications system.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Lasers and Masers

CONT

MTHEL uses directed energy (laser beam) to intercept aerial targets such as rockets, missiles, artillery shells and other aerial threats. The target destruction is achieved by projecting a highly focused, high-power laser beam, delivered by a chemical laser, with enough energy to affect the target, and explode it in midair.

CONT

MTHEL is a development of the mobile version of the Tactical High Energy Laser(THEL) testbed weapon, developed by Northrop Grumman under a US Army contract. The program is expected to provide a completed prototype by 2007.

The Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments(ABLE) is a research initiative devoted to atmospheric research. This project has been developed by the Atmospheric Section of Argonne National Laboratory. The ABLE is located on the lower Walnut Watershed, mostly in Butler County east of the city of Wichita, Kansas. This location is within the existing boundaries of DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement(ARM) Southern Great Plains(SGP) Clouds and Radiation Testbed(CART) site. The establishment of this facility offers a virtual atmospheric observatory and provides essential research tools for addressing a myriad of unresolved fundamental questions in atmospheric research. The ABLE provides a continuous view of processes in the lower atmosphere over a limited domain within the SGP CART site.

The Product Data Exchange Specification(PDES)(...) is an ambitious project to develop a standardized format for representing and exchanging information about almost any manufactured product. The specification will include geometric design information and all the information needed to make a part. The "National PDES Testbed" will have several additional functions, including : seeking out and diagnosting unsolved problems in the developing specification; providing a demonstration site for applications of PDES technology; helping to coordinate a national network of other PDES test facilities; and conducting an information and technology transfer program to speed the implementation of PDES standards. The project is funded by the Defense Department's Computer Aided Acquisition and Logistic Support(CALS) Office.

Although WUSOR-II was tested with many students in informal experiments, the coach was mostly tuned with the help of a synthetic student, SYNDIE, whose knowledge was an overlay of the system's rules. The notion of a synthetic student presupposes a number of assumptions that limit its use as a general testbed(Ihrie, 1978). In particular, the overlay student learns by discrete steps corresponding to the addition of rules; this rather static style fails to reflect the gradual mastery of concepts by human students. Nevertheless, SYNDIE turned out to be quite useful in the preliminary debugging process, where it revealed many of the coach's inadequacies.
