Robots have become usual collaborators in our daily life. While robotic systems grow to be more and more complex, the need to engineering their software development process grows as well. Traditional approaches that are used in the development process of…

El objetivo central de esta línea de investigación consiste en proponer distintas metodologías formales para representar el conocimiento en diversos sistemas argumentativos.
Como todo sistema simbólico, los sistemas argumentativos emulan el proceso de razonamiento como una manipulación dediversos símbolos. Esto…

While entertainment web forums provide a dynamic medium for interaction, not many researchers feel the need to go deeply into the contents.
One of the reasons behind this attitude lies on a widely perceived assumption that web forums do not…

The goal of this work involves the developing of an argumentation-based formalism that an agent could use for constructing plans. In this formalism, agents will have certain knowledge about the world, and a set of actions that they will be…

Metrics used on development of expert systems is not a well investigated problem area. This article suggests some metrics to be used to measure the maturity of the conceptualization process and the complexity of the decision process in the problem…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…

El análisis de imágenes puede revelar información útil para los usuarios El significativo aumento del uso de imágenes en diferentes campos de la ciencia, medicina, negocios, etc., requiere de mayor poder de procesamiento.
Con el avance en la adquisición de…

Ontology integration is the problem of combining data sources in the SemanticWeb. Concepts in source ontologies are captured in terms of concepts de ned in a global ontology. When some of these ontologies are inconsistent, the knowledge engineer often has…

Decision tree learning algorithms have been successfully used in knowledge discovery. They use induction in order to provide an appropriate classification of objects in terms of their attributes, inferring decision tree rules. This paper reports on the use of ID3…

The software industry blames universities for their graduates lacking necessary skills, meaning that just the possession of knowledge does not necessarily imply the competent performance required by the profession.
Professional maturity in software engineering is one of software industry’s major…
