The purpose of this paper is to describe how some theorems about constructions in categories can be seen as a way of doing generic programming. No prior knowledge of category theory is required to understand the paper.
We explore the…

A grande maioria dos Sistemas de Gerenciamento de Aprendizagem predominantemente em uso no ensino com suporte computacional são estáticos e lineares, ou seja, apresentam o mesmo conteúdo instrucional para os diversos estudantes sem considerar o nível de aquisição de conhecimentos…

In the restricted single-machine common due date problem the goal is to find a schedule for the n jobs which jointly minimizes the sum of earliness and tardiness penalties, while for the weighted tardiness problem the goal is to find…

Most formalisms for representing common-sense knowledge allow incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. When strong negation is also allowed, contradictory conclusions can arise. A criterion for deciding between them is needed. The aim of this paper is to investigate an inherent…

Since the rst programming language taught to students of the faculty of Applied Sciences is Scheme We brie y describe our preference for Scheme and give an overview of the course The controversial language choice induced a lot of reactions…

The SemanticWeb is a project intended to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving semantics to the content of documents on the Web by means of ontology definitions.
Ontologies intended for knowledge representation in intelligent agents rely on…

La Gestión del Conocimiento abarca un conjunto de procesos que administra el conocimiento de las organizaciones. Logra aumentar la creatividad y garantizar el éxito organizacional, ya que se fundamenta en el recurso más valioso con que actualmente cuentan las instituciones:…

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…

The theory change area have defined several operators trying to model the dynamic of knowledge. The goal of this work is to introduce a preprocessor of perceptions that could be part of an agent. The purpose of the preprocessor is…

The main advantage of a recurrent architecture is the ability to store information from prior system states. A recurrent fuzzy controller includes hidden fuzzy variables which makes the controller more appropriate to deal with dynamic systems. We are currently investigating…
