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…

En esta comunicación se presenta un panorama de la robótica en las empresas integradas a diferentes niveles de producción. Si bien el proceso de robotización de las empresas es creciente, no se llega aún a valores deseados. Es por ello…

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…

As a contribution to consider software projects to be risk investments, it is important the full standardization of either the planning methodology (as a subset of project management methodology) and the effort estimation method. We think there is important and…

DLP is a basic java-based IDE specifically conceived for DeLP, that allows to compile DeLP programs and queries into JAM opcodes, execute those opcodes, and even witness the actual step by step construction of the dialectical tree that is built…

When using tableaux algorithms to reason about Description Logics (DLs), new information is inferred from the models considered while trying to achieve knowledge satisfiability. By focusing the ontology change problem, we consider an environment where DLs are the logical formalization…

A medida que o processo de desenvolvimento de software toma-se mais complexo, passa a ser imprescindível que os Ambientes de Desenvolvimento de Software (ADSs) ofereçam suporte inteligente para a execução das atividades do processo. Entretanto, a maioria dos ADSs com…

IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection management, along with transport, and more generally communication…

It is commonly acknowledged that we need to accept and handle uncertainty when reasoning with real world data. The most profoundly studied measure of uncertainty is the probability. However, the general feeling is that probability cannot express all types of…

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly…
