The aim of this course is the construction of an Intelligent System to perform a non-trivial task. The development of an Intelligent System shares many steps with the development of any software system. Nowithstanding, there are some special features like the knowledge acquisition step, task analysis, selection of Intelligent methods, integration of Intelligent techniques, etc. that are especific of Intelligent System projects. The IS project is a project like those ones that students will cope with, in their professional practice of Artificial Intelligence in any company. The project will be constructed by a team of three or four students.

Metodología docente

In general there will be different kind of teaching methods:
- Expositive Lectures
- Participative Lectures
- Project Supervising Classes
- Orientation classes for Autonomous work and cooperative teamwork

Concretely:
The first class will be focused on laboratory working teams, and basic information about the project will be given.
The following classes (3-4) will be devoted to providing information about the process of developing an Intelligent System and all its phases.
The remaining laboratory classes (7) will be devoted to oversee and guide the Intelligent System projects of different groups.

Método de evaluación

The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course will be made by assessing the achievements of an Intelligent System project throughout the course, which will be done working in teams of 3 or 4 students.

The final grade (NFIN) is a weighted average between the teamwork (NGRUP) assesment and the evaluation of the work of each individual student (NIND) according to the formula:

NFIN = pg * NGRUP + pi * NIND, where the percentages (pg and pi) with 0.3 <= pg <= 0.5 and 0.7>= pi >= 0.5, will be determined at the beginning of each course.

The individual grade for each student (NIND) will be obtained by observing and assessing the ongoing work and participation of each student throughout the project, according to the teacher.

The teamwork grade (NGRUP) will be a weighted average between two marks related to the midterm delivery of system analysis and design (NMIDTER), and the final presentation of the project (NFINPR). It will be computed according to the formula:

NGRUP = 0.3 * NMIDTER + 0.7 * NFINPRES
