Current reasoning systems attempt to model an agent's knowledge and interaction with its environment in a symbolic manner. This environment, its world is generally dynamic and changing due to natural evolution or the actions of other agents that are a…

This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

One of the key aspects in the design of an architecture for autonomous agents is the way in which beleifs are revised in the face of new information. An intelligent agent must be prepared to handle new information (be it…

We present a socially inspired approach that allows agents in Multi-Agent Systems to speed up their own learning process through communication. Thereby, they are able to trade off impact of knowledge by mutation dependent on the recent performance of the…

As a contribution to consider software projects to be risk investments, it is important the full standardization of either the planning methodology (as a subset of project management methodology) and the effort estimation method. We think there is important and…

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…

Teachers must be able to adapt to a rapidly changing IT knowledge and technology. This requirement is further compounded by the need that this knowledge and technology be incorporated in the curriculum at the same rate.
This paper presents a…

La quitridiomicosis es una enfermedad emergente que en los últimos años ha sido vinculada a la muerte masiva de los anfibios. Esta enfermedad es causada por el hongo acuático zoospórico Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis -Bd- (Orden Rhyzophydiales). La infección de los anfibios…
