The objective of this paper is the construction of an Essential Object Model for Information Systems. This model is derived from the organization workflows representing the business processes and follows rules described by the methodology proposed. To achieve the desired…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

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…

In this paper a methodology for accesing scientific data repositories on data grids is proposed. This methodology is based on ontology specification and knowledge representation. The concept of Knowledge Perspective is introduced, as the action of applying particular scientific conjectures…

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 repositorios institucionales son depósitos de archivos digitales de diferentes tipologías para accederlos, difundirlos y preservarlos. Este artículo tiene como propósito explicar la importancia de los repositorios en el ámbito académico de la Ingeniería como una manera de democratizar el…

This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

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…

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…

We have developed a distributed DSS able to work in a dynamic way. This system is based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's queries and visit the DSS domains gathering the required information. One of the…
