The studies on the formation of psychology's professors were locating us in the construction process of the professional knowledge in professors but in psychologists that exercise the teaching too, visualizing the paper that built knowledge assumed between both environments (academic…

Virtual and remote laboratories(VRLs) are e-learning resources which enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…

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…

The tools for fault impact analysis are important for the deployment of critical mission systems. These tools can be also used as a development phase aid. We introduce several concepts related to "business alarms". Business alarms are an approximation to…

La Plata National University is making a great effort to support and encourage scientific, technologic and artistic research and innovation, maintaining its quality, as well as the development and knowledge transference that benefit society and generate new scientific, technologic and…

In this paper, we build on previous work on Belief Revision operators based on the use of logic programming with Answer Set semantics as a representation language. We present a set of postulates for Answer Set Revision with respect to…

It is commonly acknowledged that we need to accept and handle uncertainty when reasoning with real world data. The most profoundly studied measure of uncertainty is the probability. However, the general feeling is that probability cannot express all types of…

In this work, we discuss aspects of a framework to support the understanding and the improvement in hypermedia development processes. The framework is built taking into account two modeling approaches and four domain levels. The modeling approaches are called prescriptive…

This paper presents a new approach to reduce the space problem due to combinatorial explosion of CNM (Combinatorial Neural Model) method. First we show a description of CNM, proposed by Machado and Rocha [MAC 91], [MAC 92], [MAC 92a], [MAC…

Negative information can be represented in several classes of logic programs. These approaches were first motivated by the search for an appropriate declarative semantics for negation as failure. Recently, some formalizations of monotonic negation were also introduced in logic programming…
