Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados" ("Knowledge Discovery in Databases", KDD) é um processo composto de várias fases iniciando com a coleta de dados para o problema e finalizando com a avaliação dos resultados finais. Este trabalho objetiva mostrar…

Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a development project including a…

El desarrollo alcanzado en los últimos años por las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicaciones (TICs) ha creado condiciones materiales y técnicas necesarias para una nueva revolución en el campo educativo. Asociado a estos cambios, el aprendizaje electrónico a través de…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

This article presents a procedure for constructing a taxonomy of COTS products in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). The taxonomy and the obtained information reach transcendental benefits to the selection of systems and tools that aid to RE-related actors…

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The proposed neuro-fuzzy network does not require a priori…

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks. In…

This work is focussed on the development and analysis of a new class of algorithms, called cellular memetic algorithms (cMAs), which will be evaluated here on the satisfiability problem (SAT). For describing a cMA, we study the effects of adding…

In the design of activities for Web-Based Education Systems, the concept of Didactic Object or Learning Object, has appeared as the axis of a new paradigm concerned with the reusability of contents and activities, due to its organization from a…

The horticulture at La Plata horticultural belt, is driven by different management types that are named and classified with different criteria. One 2-type classification refers to farmers, farms or management types named conventional, and organic, based in the general, more…
