Se consideró de interés determinar la incidencia de ingreso hospitalario por incumplimiento de tratamiento entre los pacientes cardiovasculares y portadores de una enfermedad respiratoria internados en los servicios de medicina de cinco hospitales de la Región Metropolitana, Chile. Diariamente y…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

En este trabajo se aborda el estudio de las relaciones entre sociedad, familia y aprendizaje. Particularmente refiere a las características del contexto alfabetizador hogareño de poblaciones carenciadas y sus repercusiones en las habilidades y conocimientos prelectores de sus hijos. Para…

Frequently we become amazed with the increasing number of problems to be solved that fiourish while facing daily activities. Often, related to these problems we llave also an incredible amount oí data. Since we cannot allways afford time and resources…

The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

The matrix connection method (MCM) is an alternative procedure for theorem proving than the usual resolution technique. We already have used the MCM for finding models in a real-time knowledge-based system generator. In this paper, we adapt the MCM to…

The tools for fault impact analysis are important for the deployment of critical mission systems. These tools can be also used as a development phase aid. We introduce several concepts related to "business alarms". Business alarms are an approximation to…
