Associating the pattern in text data with the pattern with time series data is a novel task. In this paper, an approach that utilizes the features of the time series data and domain knowledge is proposed and used to identify…

A solution of problems in multiagent systems involves representing beliefs of agents immersed in dynamic environments. Observation-based Defeasible Logic Programming (ODeLP) is an argument-based logic programming language that is used to represent an agent’s knowledge in the context of a…

Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados" ("Knowledge Discovery in Databases", KDD) é um processo composto de várias fases iniciando com a coleta de dados para o problema e finalizando com a avaliação dos resultados finais. Este trabalho objetiva mostrar…

Adaptive systems behavior based on user models appear promising, mostly for complex environments such as mixed reality environments (MRE).
An MRE comprises a virtual representation of the reality as well as physical objects augmented with virtual features. These objects are…

In the last decade several ways to formalize defeasible reasoning have been studied. A particular approach, defeasible argumentation, has been particularly successful to achieve this goal.
The inference process of argument-based systems is based on the interaction of ar- guments…

The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

En [2] Gerhard Brewka realizó una reconstrucción de la Teoría de Disputación Formal de Nicholas Rescher [5]. En su trabajo, Brewka completó la formalización de la presentación de Dialectics:
A Controversy-Oriented Approach to the Theory 01 Knowledge. El formalismo no..monótono…

In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

This work describes the ontology construction process for the development of an Intelligent System for the Organization and Retrieval of Knowledge in Biodiversity – SISBIO. The system aims at the production of strategic information for the biofuel chain Two main…
