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 studies on the formation of psychology's professors were locating us in the construction process of the professional knowledge in professors but in psychologists that exercise the teaching too, visualizing the paper that built knowledge assumed between both environments (academic…

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…

Parallel machine scheduling, involves the allocation of jobs to the system resources (a bank of machines in parallel). A basic model consisting of m machines and n jobs is the foundation of more complex models. Here, jobs are allocated according…

The success of personal information agents depends on their capacity to both identify relevant information for users and proactively recommend context-relevant information. In this paper, we propose an approach to enable proactive context-aware recommendation based on the knowledge of both…
