This paper summarizes the main results developed in the author's PhD Thesis.
The main goal of the Thesis is to provide a formalization of defeasible argumentation oriented towards its computational treatment. In order to do this, an LDS-based logical framework…

This thesis defines Defeasible Logic Programming and provides a concrete specification of this new language through its operational semantics. Defeasible Logic Programming, or DeLP for short, has been defined based on the Logic Programming paradigm and considering features of recent…

The work carried out in the thesis describes efficient virtual environments management. One of the main contributions is a middleware scheduling optimization based on Grid environments. Being the overall goal to get an optimal resource selection plus a coordinate task…

For centuries, experimentation has been at the center of all successful scientific studies. Experimental explorations can offer new perceptions, weed out unproductive approaches and validate theories and practices. Computer Science (CS), as a discipline, has a poor record when it…

In this Ph. D thesis, the main significant contributions are: formulation of a new non-linear membership function using fuzzy approach to capture and describe vagueness in the technological coefficients of constraints in the industrial production planning problems [1-3]. This non-linear…

In order to measure the performance of a parallel machine, a set of application kernels as benchmarks have often been used. However, it is not always possible to characterize the performance using only benchmarks, given the fact that each one…

El Ensayo sobre la Revolución del Río de la Plata desde el 25 de mayo de 1809, publicado por su autor, Bernardo de Monteagudo, en el periódico Mártir, o libre el 25 de mayo de 1812, representa uno de los…
