Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is a knowledge representation formalism that combines results from Logic Programming and Defeasible Argumentation to provide reasoning based on contradictory and potentially incomplete information. DeLP allows information representation by using weak rules and provides an argumentation…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

Little has been written about the component provision problem (programming plans and domain concepts) for the repositories of knowledge in program understanding systems and reports that specifically address this issue are unknown. Model-driven and plan-driven approaches use repositories where construction…

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…

In order to deal with the Ontology Change problem and considering an environment where Description Logics (DLs) are used to describe ontologies, the question of how to integrate distributed ontologies appears to be in touch with Belief Revision since DL…

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…

El presente trabajo propone un modelo pedagógico basado en el conocimiento experto de docentes de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la UNMDP. Para su construcción, se ha usado el modelo de Anthony Grasha el cual propone una tipología fundamentada en…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

Los agentes pueden definirse como componentes de software (programas) activos que perciben, razonan y se comunican a través de un protocolo predefinido. Muy generalmente, como en el caso de la World Wide Web, los agentes no son desarrollados en aislamiento…

Se podría pensar que la innovación es un proceso irregular que no se puede sistematizar. Hay organizaciones que no lo consideran de este modo, e intentan asegurar una gestión regular en el proceso de innovación. Sin embargo esta gestión no…
