Abstract/Summary:
Human-Centered Computing is a methodology that focuses on human factors to make computers more human-oriented, and thus more pleasant to use. Human-Centered Computing requires computers to learn and understand human beings and work in the fuzzy way---the way human brains work.;The last part of work presented in this thesis focuses on finding a new way of gathering user's information using a combination of natural language processing, computing with word, and ontology.;This thesis focuses on building a fuzzy-based Human-Centered System. In this work, fuzzy concepts are used in combination with ontology in order to model information in a structured and meaningful form that is comprehensible by both human and machine. This allows human users to transfer their vague information to the system, and allows the system to "learn" more about them and implicitly derive some knowledge based on the stored information.
