This work describes the ontology construction process for the development of an Intelligent System for the Organization and Retrieval of Knowledge in Biodiversity – SISBIO. The system aims at the production of strategic information for the biofuel chain Two main…

Classical knowledge production is an author-centered process. The emergence of cooperative internet technologies such as wikis or blogs shows a shift towards stronger cooperative production and communication of knowledge, closing the gap between readers and authors. The incorporation of such…

Adaptive systems behavior based on user models appear promising, mostly for complex environments such as mixed reality environments (MRE).
An MRE comprises a virtual representation of the reality as well as physical objects augmented with virtual features. These objects are…

Focusing on the Ontology Change problem, we consider an environment where Description Logics (DLs) are the logical formalization to express knowledge bases, and the integration of distributed ontologies is developed under new extensions and modifications of the Belief Revision theories…

L’hypothèse de cette thèse est qu’une pratique collaborative médecins de famille-pharmaciens communautaires (PCMP) où le pharmacien fournit des soins pharmaceutiques avancés avec ajustement posologique d’une statine permettrait aux patients avec une dyslipidémie une réduction plus importante de leur LDL et…

Los habitantes de la Depresión Momposina, en las llanuras del Caribe colombiano, conceden un lugar preponderante en su tradición oral a los llamados animales de monte. Cuentos, refranes, cantos, rondas infantiles, coplas y versos que acompañan danzas de carnaval, reflejan…

Web engineering software development is facing continuous changes in technology implementation. This involves analysts, developers and designers to provide extra effort in the design and maintenance of Web applications in order to adapt them to changes in requirements and implementation…

This thesis looks for to facilitate the communication of the children with deficient of the speech by means of an electronic team where the SPC (Pictorial Symbols of Communication) to more than being visualized, they are listened, reproducing an audio…

Spatial data warehouses (SDW) rely on extended multidimensional (MD) models in order to provide decision makers with appropriate structures to intuitively analyse spatial data. Several SDW development approaches provide a conceptual modeling and some guidelines in order to obtain logical…

Multi-agent systems (MAS) offer an approach to solve complex problems where data and control are inherently distributed among several agents. Normally, agents have to cope with conflicts based on inconsistent knowledge which arise when they exchange information. A relative common…
