Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In order to advise users in choosing parallel machines to run their applications, we want to establish a general methodology, requiring as shallow…

El conocimiento de los procesos que condujeron a una determinada realidad académica constituye un basamento indispensable para la elaboración de medidas tendientes a su mejora futura. En tal sentido aquí se estudian los procesos que conforman el camino que han…

Introduction: The consequences of violent and antisocial behaviors among psychiatric hospital inpatients are serious and may affect treatment of the aggressor. Lack of knowledge concerning the incidence of this phenomenon and its characteristics helps perpetuate the current scenario. Objectives: To…

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 of…

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.

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…

En este trabajo se formula una propuesta de arquitectura de integración entre sistemas de descubrimiento de conocimiento (adquisición automática) y sistemas basados en conocimiento (sistemas expertos). Se formulan consideraciones sobre la viabilidad de implementación de dicha arquitectura en función de…

IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection management, along with transport, and more generally communication…
