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…

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…

In this article we will introduce certain considerations that must be taken into account while implementing the change operations of the belief change theory. The abstract models of bellief change make no considerations in respecto to the internal structures of…

El conocimiento de la estrategias de producción de una raza, es decir, de las componentes de su producción final y de sus pesos relativos, contribuye a la búsqueda de biotipos adaptados a diferentes sistemas productivos. Con el propósito de definir…

Performance of parallel programs is one of the reasons of their development. The process of designing and programming a parallel application is a very hard task that requires the necessary knowledge for the detection of performance bottlenecks, and the corresponding…

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…

Con el propósito de contribuir al conocimiento de la expansión residencial en áreas periurbanas de ciudades medias, en el presente artículo se aborda el estudio del proceso de expansión que se ha venido desarrollando en el espacio periurbano del Partido…

Classical methods for representing and reasoning with knowledge rely on the assumption that the available information is complete, certain and consistent. In real-world problems this is usually not the case, and Al has long dealt with the issue of finding…

The notion of rational agency was proposed by Russell [9] as an alternative characterization of intelligence agency. Loosely speaking, an agent is said to be rational if it perfomns the right actions according to the information it possesses and the…

Implicitly exploitable parallelism for Logic Programming has received ample attention. Defeasible Argutmentation is specially apt for this optimizing technique. Defeasible Logic Programming (DLP), which is based on a defeasible argumentation formalism, could take full advantage of this type of parallel…
