(cont.) To demonstrate its practical value in large-scale engineering systems, the research applied OPN to two space exploration programs and one aircraft design problem. In our experiments, OPN was able to significantly change the modeling and architectural reasoning process by…

El artículo forma parte de una conferencia dictada por el autor, en la que esboza una experiencia de desarrollo institucional de la Universidad de los Andes, a partir de la creación de un Seminario cuya mirada ofrece variados significados y…

In recent years we have seen a confluence of science and technology that portends great impact to business strategy and product development. Just as physicists, chemists and biologists have extended their knowledge to other fields in pursuit of their own…

El tratamiento estadístico de información cuantitativa ha sido realizado tradicionalmente a través de medidas descriptivas de tendencia central, de posición y dispersión o variabilidad, así como análisis de correlación y regresión. Sin embargo, en el campo de las ciencias ambientales,…

(cont.) reached very high values early in the experiment and was significantly but slightly lower in FC than in GC. The target position relative to the subject's body did not affect performance, but subjects responded significantly faster when they were…

Banking channel management has become a crucial component in the drive for improved efficiency. Since the channel is the interlocutor between customers and products, banks are leveraging their knowledge of channels to efficiently address perfect product portfolio through the most…

The contribution of this thesis is to provide a tractable framework for supply chains and revenue management problems subject to uncertainty that gives insight into the structure of the optimal policy and requires little knowledge of the underlying probability distributions.…

Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is the most prevalent material degradation mechanism for low carbon steel in steam-water flow systems. The band of uncertainty in predictions of wear rate due to FAC spans one to two orders of magnitude. Such a…

(cont.) which are then applied to developmentally acquire new object representations. The humanoid robot therefore sees the world through the caregiver's eyes. Building an artificial humanoid robot's brain, even at an infant's cognitive level, has been a long quest which…

Este artículo presenta un sistema de diálogos multilingüe basado en la semántica. El sistema utiliza una ontología que modela la aplicación para gestionar de forma eficiente la interacción oral y textual en diferentes lenguas (inglés, castellano y catalán). El conocimiento…
