We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging approach that identifies, explains, and resolves…

This paper examines the issues and the solutions that have been studied in database (DB) integration research and tries to draw lessons from them for knowledge base (KB) integration.

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 object oriented programming style used in the Smalltalk and Actor languages is available in Lisp Machine Lisp, and used by the Lisp Machine software system. It is used to perform generic operations on objects. Part of its implementation is…

PATN is a design for a machine problem solver which uses an augmented transition network (ATN) to represent planning knowledge. In order to explore PATN's potential as a theory of human problem solving, a linguistic approach to protocol analysis is…

A partir del análisis de un texto de la tradición oral añú, intentaremos precisar el hecho de la construcción oral de la historia. Vale decir, a través del canto oral añú, veremos una muestra del proceso de construcción de la…

The next generation of artificial intelligence programs will require the ability to organize knowledge as groups of active objects. Each object should have only its own local expertise, the ability to operate in parallel with other objects, and the ability…

we propose a new perspective on the identification of linear dynamic system using structural similarity. The proposal consists in the meaningful exploration of each model, specifically behavior of the state variable. The decomposition of the behavior of a state variable…

This thesis highlights the effectiveness of Real Options Analysis (ROA) in capacity planning decisions for engineering projects subject to uncertainty. This is in contrast to the irreversible decision-making proposed by the deterministic strategies based on expected estimates of parameters drawn…

El presente trabajo representa una propuesta metodológica en la enseñanza del griego antiguo. Su premisa está sustentada en la explicación de los sintagmas nominales como matrices sintácticas que, junto al verbo, forman estructuras oracionales. Mediante la presentación de los siete…
