Me propongo analizar y discutir algunos resultados de una investigación etnográfica desarrollada en comunidades Mbya Guaraníes (Misiones, Argentina) acerca de las representaciones y prácticas relacionadas con la crianza y el desarrollo infantil.
En este trabajo caracterizo las categorías, representaciones y…

About fifteen years ago, the Electronic Engineering Department of the National Technological University of Buenos Aires was structured grouping the curricula in Knowledge Areas. One of them was the Digital Area. It was assumed that its contents should be changing…

The aim of this paper is to describe and discuss some results from an ethnographic research on Argentinian Mbya communities focused on representations and practices related to childrearing and development during the first stages of life course.

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

Humans have always been intrigued by their ability to reason. We have constantly attempted to emulate this process, trying almost everything, from physiological explanations, to sociological accounts. The approach with possibly the longest tradition conceives this process as a mere…
