The construction of expert problem-solving systems requires the development of techniques for using modular representations of knowledge without encountering combinatorial explosions in the solution effort. This report describes an approach to dealing with this problem based on making some knowledge…

A solution of problems in multiagent systems involves representing beliefs of agents immersed in dynamic environments. Observation-based Defeasible Logic Programming (ODeLP) is an argument-based logic programming language that is used to represent an agent’s knowledge in the context of a…

This paper studies the relationship of Artificial Intelligence to the study of language and the representation of the underlying knowledge which supports the comprehension process. It develops the view that intelligence is based on the ability to use large amounts…

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…

(cont.) algorithm to identify the regulatory models from protein-DNA binding and gene expression data. These models to a large extent agree with the knowledge of gene regulation pertaining to the corresponding regulators. The three works in this thesis provide a…

This report describes a domain independent reasoning system. The system uses a frame-based knowledge representation language and various reasoning techniques including constraint propagation, progressive refinement, natural deduction and explicit control of reasoning. A computational architecture based on active objects which…

En este trabajo se muestran los resultados de una investigación que tuvo como objetivo conocer las
percepciones de los profesores de la Universidad de Los Andes, núcleo Dr. Pedro Rincón Gutiérrez (San

Un cadre d’analyse des figures utilisées dans la vulgarisation de la connaissance scientifique est développé suivant la sémiotique de Charles S. Peirce et la méthode archéologique de Michel Foucault. Ce cadre est appliqué spécifiquement à l’analyse de figures de l’atome…

L’objectif principal du présent mémoire est d’observer le processus de traduction d’un texte de nature juridique mis en oeuvre par deux groupes d’étudiants, cinq étudiants inscrits au baccalauréat en traduction et quatre inscrits au baccalauréat en droit. Tout d’abord, nous…

Villacís, Wagner, La enfermedad del Alzheimer como muchos la llaman es la enfermedad del siglo, un mal que afecta al grupo de adultos mayores, con síntomas degenerativos causantes de incapacidad en quien lo padece, su tratamiento es aún tema de…
