The aim of this work is to analyze the knowledge interchange on multi-agent systems using shared knowledge areas. The project involves the analysis and reformulation of some aspects of the Linda model, adding new model level features. This work proposes…

In logic programs, negation-as-failure has been used both for representing negative information and for providing default nonmonotonic inference. In this paper we argue that this twofold role is not only unnecessary for the expressiveness of the language, but it also…

Mountain papaya fruits (Vasconcella pubescens) were tested for firmness with a nondestructive acoustic method for 14 days after harvest. The response of each fruit was analyzed with the Fourier transform to obtain a firmness index (FI) based on the second…

En el marco del proyecto de EAD de la Universidad de La Plata (UNLP), Argentina se ha venido utilizando, desde hace tres años, la plataforma WebUNLP para impartir un curso de posgrado en patología de crustáceos. Este curso incluye, dentro…

Information Retrieval Systems normally deal with keywordbased technologies. Although those systems reach satisfactory results, they aren’t able to answer more complex queries done by users, especially those directly in natural language. To do that, there are the KnowledgeBased Systems, which…

The need for improving software processes approximated the software engineering and artificial intelligence areas. Artificial intelligence techniques have been used as a support to software development processes, particularly through intelligent assistants that offer a knowledge-based support to software process’ activities.…

Since huge amounts of spatial data can be easily collected from various applications, ranging from remote sensing technology to geographical information system, the extraction and comprehension of spatial knowledge is a more and more important task. Many excellent studies on…

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…

Information systems play an ever-increasing key role in our society. In particular, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with much more intelligent capabilities than those present in today’s Data-base Management Systems (DBMS).…

Hoy día es claro que el análisis espacial de la información supone una gran fuente de conocimiento. La interoperabilidad de la información geográfica disponible mediante aplicaciones heterogéneas es fundamental para una planificación y análisis en conjunto de los datos disponibles.…
