Performance of parallel programs is one of the reasons of their development. The process of designing and programming a parallel application is a very hard task that requires the necessary knowledge for the detection of performance bottlenecks, and the corresponding…

This paper discusses questions about communication of probabilistic knowledge in the light of current theories of agent communication. It will argue that there is a semantic gap between these theories and research areas related to probabilistic knowledge representation and communication,…

In the software world portability means power. The more operating environments you can support out of the same code tree means more potential users for your software. If done right, additional platforms can be supported with little extra maintenance cost.…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

We faced with a society identified as a knowledge society, characterized by the rapid development of scientific and technological knowledge, the trends to new ways of working, studying, creating and sharing knowledge, is seen in organizations, and particularly in the…

La historia del conocimiento que el mundo mediterráneo, primero Grecia y luego Roma,
tuvo de la India, comienza en forma paulatina con la llegada, por ejemplo, de objetos de
marfil. A partir de la expedición de Alejandro, tiempo en el…

In this research line we are exploring the possibility of having multiple preference criteria to compare arguments in in Defeasible Argumentation. In this work we are assuming a goaloriented Argumentative System, to which an application or an agent may seek…

El traspaso de la Modernidad a la Modernidad tardía ha supuesto sustanciales cambios en la economía y en la sociedad toda, que se han traducido en el traspaso de una sociedad incluyente a otra excluyente. Paralelamente, en el ámbito criminológico,…

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…
