In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

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 ot…

La investigación universitaria es una de las actividades que realiza las funciones de:
generación, transmisión, difusión y explotación del conocimiento. Esta línea de investigación aborda la necesidad de gestionar la investigación universitaria desde la perspectiva de la gestión del Capital…

La explotación de información es un elemento fundamental de un proceso más amplio que tiene como objetivo el descubrimiento de conocimiento en grandes bases de datos [Fayyad et al., 1996; Britos et al., 2005], en inglés “Knowledge Discovery in Databases”…

Instruction may be seen as the intentional creation of conditions around learning so as to facilitate the achievement of determined goals. Normally, instruction is based upon certain educational strategies. It is well accepted in the field of educational technology that…

Determining an optimal schedule to minimize the completion time of the last job abandoning the system (makespan) becomes a very difficult problem when there are more than two machines in the flow shop. Due both to its economical impact and…

Modeling is one of the most important activities throughout any software development life cycle. Within object-oriented modeling, class generalization is a powerful, yet simple concept for abstracting commonalities between classes. Although, as classes evolved in the model, their semantics may…

Decision tree learning algorithms have been successfully used in knowledge discovery. They use induction in order to provide an appropriate classification of objects in terms of their attributes, inferring decision tree rules. This paper reports on the use of ID3…

The analysis and classification of seeds are essential activities contributing to the final added value in the crop production. Besides varietal identification and cereal grain grading, it is also of interest in the agricultural industry the early identification of weeds…

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…
