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…

Los farmacéuticos y productos de cuidado personal (PPCPs) pertenecen al grupo contaminantes emergentes, su riego ambiental no se había detectado hasta hace una década. Recientemente, han sido reportados de causar efectos adversos sobre la vida silvestre y humana. Además, la…

La biodiversidad es un atractivo para millones de turistas que viajan alrededor del mundo. Sin embargo la presión ejercida sobre la misma puede provocar la desaparición de especies o la interferencia en los procesos ecológicos que la sostienen. En la…

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 design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Although there is no universally accepted de nition of intelligence, a notion of rational agency has been proposed as an alternative for the characterization of intelligent agency.
Modeling…

Este trabalho mostra uma forma de pensar concorrente. São utilizados algoritmos de grafos, algoritmo do menor caminho, para mostrar desde a especificação até a implementação de algoritmos concorrentes. Objetiva-se mostrar uma outra forma de ensinar a concorrência, sua teoria, propriedades…

Artificial Intelligence has long dealt with the issue of finding a suitable formalization for reasoning with incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. Defeasible argumentation [SL92,CML00,PraVre99] has proven to be a successful approach in many respects, since it naturally resembles many aspects…

In the last years there has been an increasing demand of a variety of logical systems, prompted
mostly by applications of logic in AI, logic programming and other related areas. Labeled Deductive
Systems (LDS) were developed as a °exible methodology…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long dealt with the issue of finding a suitable formalization for commonsense reasoning. Defeasible argumentation has proven to be a successful approach in many respects, proving to be a confluence point for many alternative logical frameworks.…

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…
