Ciudadanos y organizaciones civiles juegan un rol más importante en los nuevos regímenes democráticos que bajo las experiencias previas. Los esfuerzos para promover la transparencia, la responsabilidad en la gestión y la participación han llevado a los ciudadanos, las organizaciones…

En este trabajo, escrito como un ensayo se persigue explicar la teoría desarrollada por Michel de Certeau, la cual envuelve el problema de la historia y las posibilidades de conocimiento con fundamento en el concepto de “verdad” y creencia. La…

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementation of systems using specific programming languages.…

Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In order to advise users in choosing parallel machines to run their applications, we want to establish a general methodology, requiring as shallow…

Over the last several years, multidimensional data modeling has had several proposals for its formalisation; on the other hand, the incorporation of fuzzy logic in databases has increased the need to represent uncertainty.
However, to our knowledge, so far projects…

A re-design process implies dealing with complex interactions between stakeholders, especially if we are talking about a personalization re-engineered process, which can be applied to an existing web application. In this context, knowledge becomes a main factor of influence, but…

This work extends the semantics and implementation of fuzzy prolog presented in [VGM02] in order to include Default Knowledge capability. The new semantic allows non-uniform default assumptions and has Closed World Assumption (CWA) and Open World Assumption (OWA) as particular…

The paper presents a case study illustrating a collaborative problem solving process in Virtual Communities of Practice. The process relies on the existence of an underlying shared knowledge base – a repository of resources, and is carried out collaboratively by…

Background: Fieldwork has thoroughly established that most eggs are intensely predated. Among the few exceptions are the aerial egg clutches from the aquatic snail Pomacea canaliculata which have virtually no predators. Its defenses are advertised by the pigmented ovorubin perivitellin…

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…
