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…

Este artigo apresenta um algoritmo Cultural Extendido para o problema do Despacho Econômico. O Algoritmo Cultural têm cinco categorias de conhecimento. Este trabalho visa demonstrar a aplicação do conhecimento histórico, que objetiva monitorar a busca e armazenar os eventos importantes…

The goal of this work involves the developing of an argumentation-based formalism that an agent could use for constructing plans. In this formalism, agents will have certain knowledge about the world, and a set of actions that they will be…

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…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

El análisis de imágenes puede revelar información útil para los usuarios El significativo aumento del uso de imágenes en diferentes campos de la ciencia, medicina, negocios, etc., requiere de mayor poder de procesamiento.
Con el avance en la adquisición de…

Inside an organization there is information that can only be generated by people, then, when a decision maker in any time and anywhere of an organization requires this information, he/she has to solicit it to who has the ability of…

It is commonly acknowledged that we need to accept and handle uncertainty when reasoning with real world data. The most profoundly studied measure of uncertainty is the probability. However, the general feeling is that probability cannot express all types of…

In this article we present a generalized dynamic argumentation framework that handles arguments expressed in an abstract language assumed to be some first order logic fragment. Once the formalism is presented, we propose a reification to the description logic ALC…

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.…
