In this paper, we present an approach to student's evaluation in a well-defined domain based on a semantic network. A similarity matrix based on the semantic memory structure of humans is used to build a semantic distance model in order…

Over the last several years, multidimensional data modeling has had several proposals for its formalisation; on the other hand, the incorporation of fuzzy logic in databases has increased the need to represent uncertainty.
However, to our knowledge, so far projects…

Defeasible argumentation is one of the approaches that attempt to address the challenges arising when we reason defeasibly, with several formalisms in the literature reaching a mature state. Nowadays, several of them started shifting their semantics towards a dialectical characterization.…

Esta tesis presenta una estrategia en la Ingeniería de Requisitos, denominada SDRES, que intenta abordar temas poco tratados en la práctica real, tales como los cambios constantes en los requisitos, defectos del software originados en los requisitos, el contexto organizacional…

Component Based Software Development (CBSD) relies upon utilization of previously developed software components OTS (Off-The-Shelf), which are appropriately merged to satisfy particular system requirements. However, wide acceptance of this paradigm at industry requires efficient component identification and selection, aspects which…

About fifteen years ago, the Electronic Engineering Department of the National Technological University of Buenos Aires was structured grouping the curricula in Knowledge Areas. One of them was the Digital Area. It was assumed that its contents should be changing…

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…

Teniendo como marco de trabajo la cátedra de “Trabajo Profesional” de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, se presenta una experiencia de desarrollo, en la que se trató de respetar el conocimiento teórico, el modelo así…

Most formalisms for representing common-sense knowledge allow incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. When strong negation is also allowed, contradictory conclusions can arise. A criterion for deciding between them is needed. The aim of this paper is to investigate an inherent…

Este artigo apresenta um algoritmo Cultural Extendido para o problema do Despacho Econômico. O Algoritmo Cultural têm cinco categorias de conhecimento. Este trabalho visa demonstrar a aplicação do conhecimento histórico, que objetiva monitorar a busca e armazenar os eventos importantes…
