Little has been written about the component provision problem (programming plans and domain concepts) for the repositories of knowledge in program understanding systems and reports that specifically address this issue are unknown. Model-driven and plan-driven approaches use repositories where construction…

We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging approach that identifies, explains, and resolves…

This paper examines the issues and the solutions that have been studied in database (DB) integration research and tries to draw lessons from them for knowledge base (KB) integration.

The object oriented programming style used in the Smalltalk and Actor languages is available in Lisp Machine Lisp, and used by the Lisp Machine software system. It is used to perform generic operations on objects. Part of its implementation is…

PATN is a design for a machine problem solver which uses an augmented transition network (ATN) to represent planning knowledge. In order to explore PATN's potential as a theory of human problem solving, a linguistic approach to protocol analysis is…

The next generation of artificial intelligence programs will require the ability to organize knowledge as groups of active objects. Each object should have only its own local expertise, the ability to operate in parallel with other objects, and the ability…

This thesis highlights the effectiveness of Real Options Analysis (ROA) in capacity planning decisions for engineering projects subject to uncertainty. This is in contrast to the irreversible decision-making proposed by the deterministic strategies based on expected estimates of parameters drawn…

La sociedad del conocimiento actual demanda que el ser humano mantenga una actitud de continuo aprendizaje. Pues la complejidad del aprendizaje
universitario comprende una red de elementos organizados con base en los principios: dialógico, recursivo y hologramático. El presente artículo

Las concepciones humanísticas de José Ortega y Gasset, que lo llevarían
a fundar, junto a Julián Marías, el Instituto de Humanidades de Madrid
en 1948, tuvieron significativa repercusión en las universidades
latinoamericanas. El prestigioso historiador español Américo Castro
no desconocía…
