Standard hardware, dedicated microcontroller or application specific circuits can implement fuzzy logic or neural network controllers. This paper presents efficient architecture approaches to develop controllers using specific circuits. A generator uses several tools that allow translating the initial problem specification…

The objective of this research is to develop a tool for the generation of 3D objects modeled with flexible materials, with visco-elastic or inelastic characteristics, similar to the plasticine. It is desirable to prioritize the simplicity of the interface with…

Negotiation is a basic mechanism for interaction that allows the members in a Multiagent System to coordinate their actions and to reach a favorable agreement. When agents are collaborative, the negotiation process progresses through a dialogue in which proposals and…

Our interest is to define evolutionary algorithms to solve Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), which indlude benefits of taditional resolution methods of CSPs as well as inherent characteristics of these kind of problems. In this paper we propose a criterion to…

Implicitly exploitable parallelism for Logic Programming has received ample attention. Defeasible Argutmentation is specially apt for this optimizing technique. Defeasible Logic Programming (DLP), which is based on a defeasible argumentation formalism, could take full advantage of this type of parallel…

Interactive visualisation of triangulated terrain surfaces is still a problem for virtual reality systems. A polygonal model of very large terrain data requires a large number of triangles. The main problems are the representation rendering efficiency and the transmission over…

Niche formation allows evolutionary algorithms to be used when the location and maintenance of multiple solutions appertaining to diverse areas of the phenotypic space is required. Consequently the application field can be extended to multiobjective optimization, simulation of complex systems…

Los derechos de propiedad son considerados un factor determinante para el desarrollo económico. La evaluación de los efectos causales de los derechos de propiedad, sin embargo, es una tarea difícil, ya que su distribución es generalmente endógena. Para superar este…

This thesis examines the claims of Jeffrey Timm and James Buchanan that the field of Comparative Philosophy is moving in a postmodern direction. I examine their conception of the postmodern and compare to both the most influential views of postmodernism…

El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de algunos problemas diofánticos. Unos relacionados con ternas pitagóricas, y otros con funciones aritméticas.
En concreto se empieza, en el capítulo 1, por dos breves notas históricas sobre la aritmética de Diofanto…
