Abstract
This thesis explores the design and implementation of an intelligent semantic machine
control system with specific reference to information system architecture design. The
term "intelligent" refers to machines that can execute some level ofdecision taking in
context. The term "semantic" refers to a structured language that allows user and
machine to communicate.
This study will explore all the key concepts about an intelligent semantic machine
control system with information system architecture. The key concepts to be
investigated will include Intelligent Control, Semantics and information system
architecture. The primary purpose ofthis study is to develop a methodology for
designing information system architecture.
The emerging discipline of "Usability Engineering" is at the core of information
system architecture aspects of this project. The Usability Engineering approach to the
design of complex machines focuses on developing machines that are efficient and
error-free. Usability Engineering provides a methodological framework for the
optimum design of information system architecture by recognising - user needs,
design restrictions, and other environmental constraints. The Usability Engineering
also provides guidelines for integration with Object Oriented Methodology (OOM)
and Unified Modelling Language (UML). The integration is based on linking OOM
models and UML with Usability Engineering tasks. OOM is a new technology based
on objects and classes. By providing first class support for the objects and classes of
objects of an application domain, the object-oriented paradigm precepts offer better
modelling and implementation of systems. The UML is an open method used to
specifY, visualize, construct, and document the artifacts ofan object-oriented
information system under development. This study illustrates the design and implementation of information system
architectute of an intelligent exercise machine as a specific practical Information
Technology (IT) application. We will follow the integration of the Usability
Engineering and OOM to develop the specific application. The intelligent control
system will automatically respond and execute a task or a function of the machines
immediately in terms of decision taking of machines. The important aspect of the
information system is to record all users' data for customizing their future plans and
retrieving the data. Information system architecture provides a communication
between an exerciser and a coach in tenns of exerciser needs.
