In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

The present paper is about applying competence modeling for a knowledge engineer in the case of the company WBSA Sistemas Inteligentes S.A. The process was based on Lucia and Lepsinger model, by which competences are characterized through the identification of…

The Knowledge Engineering Suite is an ontology production method, based on relationship networks, for knowledge representation inside specific contexts. The production of these ontologies has three basic steps, since catching the client data, knowledge base creation, and information retrieval and…

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…

Este artigo apresenta urn ambiente para o desenvolvimento e uso de Sistemas Especialistas que funciona no ambiente operacional Microsoft Windows e que portanto utiliza os recursos de interface convencionais deste ambiente operacional. O sistema foi desenvolvido comotrabalho de conclusao do…

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…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

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…

Teachers must be able to adapt to a rapidly changing IT knowledge and technology. This requirement is further compounded by the need that this knowledge and technology be incorporated in the curriculum at the same rate.
This paper presents a…
