Workers and employees are increasingly exposed in the workplace to chemical compounds and substances that are potentially toxic; for most of these compounds, no information exist regarding effects on human health. As one of the main employment generation sources, Small…

The need for improving software processes approximated the software engineering and artificial intelligence areas. Artificial intelligence techniques have been used as a support to software development processes, particularly through intelligent assistants that offer a knowledge-based support to software process’ activities.…

Rough Sets Theory has opened new trends for the development of the Incomplete Information Theory. Inside this one, the notion of reduct is a very significant one, but to obtain a reduct in a decision system is an expensive computing…

In the past, numerous approaches have been formulated either for approximating Pareto-optimal alternatives or supporting the decision making process with an interactive multi criteria decision aiding methodology. The article on the other hand presents an integrated system for the resolution…

Se presentan los aspectos técnicos, científicos y culturales más sobresalientes desarrollados desde el año 2001 en relación con las investigaciones del Proyecto Fonelas. Esta investigación tiene su eje en el conocimiento integral de los registros del yacimiento de grandes mamíferos…

In this work we analyze the problem of knowledge representation in a collaborative multi-agent system where agents can obtain new information from others through communication. Namely, we analyze several approaches of belief revision in multi-agent systems. We will describe different…

La conmemoración del septuagésimo aniversario de la Sociedad Argentina de Antropología nos brinda la oportunidad de sintetizar las distintas corrientes que predominaron en la disciplina del Folklore. El itinerario propuesto muestra cómo se conformó este campo del conocimiento mediante los…

This paper descries D-SCRIPT, a language for representing knowledge in artificial intelligence programs. D-SCRIPT contains a powerful formalism for descriptions, which permits the representation of statements that are problematical for other systems. Particular attention is paid to problems of opaque…

(cont.) which is expected, given their additional knowledge resources. The respondents' urgency in looking for the relevant knowledge is the primary explanation for this difference between the two networks. This difference in knowledge networking among the different groups did not…

This thesis examines the evolution of Internet based knowledge networks (e-knowledge networks) in the domain of sustainable development. The objective of this thesis is to use an engineering systems approach to understand knowledge networks, identify the barriers to their sustainability…
