The basic "Engineering Design Model" (adapted from pbs.org) comprising Problem, Brainstorm, Design, Build, Test, Redesign, leading iteratively to Solution, was discussed prior to the working of the problem, with students labeling the model in their workbooks.
As a consequence, we generalize the early efforts of knowledge based systems researchers e.g. [21, 24] and view a knowledge-based system (KBS) as comprising problem solving methods and a suitable sets of ontologies.
These principles are then discussed in relation to agent coordination in the domains of E-Science, future combat systems, and medicine, which typify real-world environments comprising problem solving systems.
Based on empirical findings, the following syndrome scales are constructed, comprising problem-items that tend to occur together: anxious/depression, withdrawn/depression, somatic complaints, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, and rule-breaking behavior.
Nansel et al achieved a diabetic clinic-based approach with 390 families randomized to receive an approach comprising problem solving, communication skills, and responsibility sharing ("We-Can") over 2 years.
The event-related design comprised problems whose interference level and problem size were manipulated in a 2 × 2 factorial design.
Questions from the Program for International Student Assessment PISAA) developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2004) were used to design two problem-solving tests (1 and 2) comprising four problems (six questions) each.
For boys, a two-step model, comprising Sleep problems and Stomach ache, explained 27% of the variance in HRQoL.
A three-step model, comprising Sleep problems, Lack of appetite and Depressive symptoms, explained 50% of the variance in HRQoL for 11 12 year-old children.
Nowadays, this is done by human experts through a time-consuming process comprising: (a) problem analysis, (b) literature scouting and (c) experimentation.
