Whereas traditional explanations of differences in long-run paths of development across the Americas generally point to the significance of differences in national heritage or religion, we highlight the relevance of stark contrasts in the degree of inequality in wealth, human…

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 of…

Lawyers often need to look for previous similar legal cases when analysing new ones.
The more previous cases, the more time is spent. Classical search engines execute termbased retrieval, which may miss relevant documents as well as fetch several irrelevant…

This work describes a multi agent system designed to support the management of tacit knowledge that belongs to people of an organization. This is a distributed knowledge management system based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

Nowadays information circulates quickly in a human organization, what generates an internal difficulty in preserving inside the organization essential information to support decision-making. Decision Support Systems (DSS) aiding organizational decision-making, had, up to now, rigid inferences machines restricted to the…

Knowledge representation models are very important in the design of intelligent agents because they provide with mechanisms to manage beliefs and their dynamics. In this paper, we propose the use of AnsProlog* as a knowledge representation language, and develop a…

Este trabajo pretende ser una contribución al conocimiento de las sociedades prehispánicas del Noroeste argentino entre el 1000 d.C. y el 1536 d.C. El objetivo es caracterizar la tecnología lítica entendida como un fenómeno multidimensional sustentado en las relaciones sociales.…

En el presente estudio se analizan los proyectos productivos apoyados por el Programa 3x1 Para Migrantes en Zacatecas durante el periodo 2002-2007 a fin de determinar dentro del concepto de cultura emprendedora la identificación del giro en que les agradaría…

The design of intelligent agents is greatly influenced by the many different models that exist to represent knowledge. It is essential that such agents have computationally adequate mechanisms to manage its knowledge, which more often than not is incomplete and/or…
