Inheritance Evaluation System Using Islamic Law, Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar, Fazal Masud Kundi, Abdur Rashid Khan
Inheritance Evaluation System Using Islamic Law, Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar, Fazal Masud Kundi, Abdur Rashid Khan
Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar
The research work about the Inheritance Evaluation System using Islamic law is valuable for automatic calculation of share out of total inheritance of a deceased to his/her legal heir(s). First version of the software named as Islamic Inheritance Evaluation System (IIES) deals with Hanfi School of thought. IIES may solve the heritage problem of heirs in text as well as in graphical form at home without establishing a suit in any court. This also leads to further research of who is how much related to whom?

Recommender systems attempt to reduce information overload and retain customers by selecting a subset of items from a universal set based on user preferences. While research in recommender systems grew out of information retrieval and filtering, the topic has steadily advanced into a legitimate and challenging research area of its own. Recommender systems have traditionally been studied from a content-based filtering vs. collaborative design perspective. Recommendations, however, are not delivered within a vacuum, but rather cast within an informal community of users and social context. Therefore, ultimately all recommender systems make connections among people and thus should be surveyed from …

Multimodal interfaces are becoming increasingly ubiquitous with the advent of mobile devices, accessibility considerations, and novel software technologies that combine diverse interaction media. In addition to improving access and delivery capabilities, such interfaces enable flexible and personalized dialogs with websites, much like a conversation between humans. In this paper, we present a software framework for multimodal web interaction management that supports mixed-initiative dialogs between users and websites. A mixed-initiative dialog is one where the user and the website take turns changing the flow of interaction. The framework supports the functional specification and realization of such dialogs using staging transformations – …
Program Transformations For Information Personalization, Saverio Perugini
Program Transformations For Information Personalization, Saverio Perugini
Computer Science Faculty Publications
Personalization constitutes the mechanisms and technologies necessary to customize information access to the end-user. It can be defined as the automatic adjustment of information content, structure, and presentation. The central thesis of this dissertation is that modeling interaction explicitly in a representation, and studying how partial information can be harnessed in it by program transformations to direct the flow of the interaction, can provide insight into, reveal opportunities for, and define a model for personalized interaction. To evaluate this thesis, a formal modeling methodology is developed for personalizing interactions with information systems, especially hierarchical hypermedia, based on program transformations. The …
