The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

Frequently we become amazed with the increasing number of problems to be solved that fiourish while facing daily activities. Often, related to these problems we llave also an incredible amount oí data. Since we cannot allways afford time and resources…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

The matrix connection method (MCM) is an alternative procedure for theorem proving than the usual resolution technique. We already have used the MCM for finding models in a real-time knowledge-based system generator. In this paper, we adapt the MCM to…

In this study we propose the standard modal logic KD43 as the logle governing expressions about Utopia. We define a formal construction corresponding to Utopian expressions In ordlnary language that we name utopian eonditionals.
They possess the singular properties of…

En [2] Gerhard Brewka realizó una reconstrucción de la Teoría de Disputación Formal de Nicholas Rescher [5]. En su trabajo, Brewka completó la formalización de la presentación de Dialectics:
A Controversy-Oriented Approach to the Theory 01 Knowledge. El formalismo no..monótono…

This paper addresses the problem of contour line extraction from scanned topographic maps in poor condition. A novel method is developed, using knowledge of cartography and graphics to extract contours by removing other layers which overlay the contours, and reconstructing…

This paper presents a group of elements to improve the teaching and learning in technological education, applied to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These elements are based on some contributions issued from contemporary education models, namely, the thematic approach, meaningful…

Presentation of a web collection platform designed to relate and unify information available on different standard web sources with a view to creating a userbrowseable thematic repository. The platform will be used at the Intellectual Creation Diffusion Service combined with…

Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) Intellectual Creativity Diffusion Service (SeDiCI) was formed mainly to publicise the knowledge acquired at the different academic areas of our university, having the goal of restoring to the community the efforts expended on public…
