The main characteristics of Darwin's life and work will be examined, as well as the developments which occurred after his death, especially neodarwinism and the synthetic theory of organic change. In which ways the extraordinary progress made in the field…

This paper summarizes the main results developed in the author's PhD Thesis.
The main goal of the Thesis is to provide a formalization of defeasible argumentation oriented towards its computational treatment. In order to do this, an LDS-based logical framework…

When certain enterprise domain needs to make an unusual decision, it will probably require new kind of information. If the interaction model among domains cannot be defined because the decision scenarios are unpredictable, the system itself must search the required…

The proposal of this research line is the search for alternatives to the resolution of complex problems where human knowledge should be apprehended in a general fashion. In particular, the activities developed so far can be included in the area…

El conocimiento de la composición biotípica de una población de áfidos es importante para poder
prevenir daños que se producirían en cultivares seleccionados por su resistencia al ataque de áfidos
de distintos tipos. Con el propósito de analizar la composición…

Se presentan ocho fechados 14C-AMS sobre colágeno de huesos craneanos sin alteración diagenética, provenientes de la cueva de Haichol, Neuquén, que serán discutidos con el propósito de adquirir conocimientos más precisos relativos a cronología, paleodieta, entorno paleoambiental del sitio y…

This article presents a procedure for constructing a taxonomy of COTS products in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). The taxonomy and the obtained information reach transcendental benefits to the selection of systems and tools that aid to RE-related actors…

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o nível de informação do paciente sobre a prescrição de medicamento antimicrobiano. O estudo foi realizado em um Centro de Saúde da cidade de Porto Alegre. Foram entrevistados pacientes que obtiveram medicamento antimicrobiano na…

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The proposed neuro-fuzzy network does not require a priori…

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks. In…
