Ontology integration is the problem of combining data sources in the SemanticWeb. Concepts in source ontologies are captured in terms of concepts de ned in a global ontology. When some of these ontologies are inconsistent, the knowledge engineer often has…

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…

Metrics used on development of expert systems is not a well investigated problem area. This article suggests some metrics to be used to measure the maturity of the conceptualization process and the complexity of the decision process in the problem…

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…

Los cambios que afectan a las instituciones educativas universitarias ocurren en distintos órdenes y se refieren a: cambios en el conocimiento (en la generación, gestión y distribución del mismo); cambios socio-culturales (relacionados con la globalización); cambios propiciados por las TIC…

In this paper, we present a novel model of an artificial immune system (AIS), based on the process that suffers the T-Cell. The proposed model is used for solving constrained (numerical) optimization problems. The model operates on three populations: Virgins,…

Inheritance is one of the most important object-oriented mechanisms, allowing code reuse and a conceptual hierachical modelling of a given domain.
However, as a white-box reuse mechanism, it introduces hidden (implicit) coupling between classes in a hierarchy. This problem makes…

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…

The following research proposes a first approximation to the Dynamic Hypermedial Device modeling based on the analysis of interactions. In addition, the DEVS (Discrete EVents dynamic Systems) formalism is employed, which is particularly suitable for the modeling of discrete event…

El objeto de este trabajo es mostrar dos problemas básicos que obstaculizan la producción
de didácticas para las ciencias jurídicas. El primero de estos problemas lo constituyen los
usos de la ética, y la conciencia, definitorios tanto de la enseñanza…
