Current reasoning systems attempt to model an agent's knowledge and interaction with its environment in a symbolic manner. This environment, its world is generally dynamic and changing due to natural evolution or the actions of other agents that are a…

Artificial Intelligence has long dealt with the issue of finding a suitable formalization for reasoning with incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. Defeasible argumentation [SL92,CML00,PraVre99] has proven to be a successful approach in many respects, since it naturally resembles many aspects…

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.…

Focusing on the Ontology Change problem, we consider an environment where Description Logics (DLs) are the logical formalization to express knowledge bases, and the integration of distributed ontologies is developed under new extensions and modifications of the Belief Revision theories…

En un contexto educativo, hay esencialmente dos modos de aprovechar la capacidad de proceso y almacenamiento de una computadora: a) producir sistemas basados en el conocimiento (tales como servicios de Internet WWW, enciclopedias multimedia, etc.) en los que el usuario…

Una nueva filosofía de Management tiene el objetivo de capturar, diseminar y rehusar el conocimiento disperso que poseen las organizaciones y que junto a sus recursos humanos constituyen su Capital Intelectual, que forma parte de su activo más importante en…

El descubrimiento de conocimiento (KD Knowledge Discovery) consiste en la búsqueda de patrones interesantes y de regularidades importantes en grandes bases de información [Holsheimer y Siebes, 1991; Piatetski-Shapiro et al., 1991]. Al hablar de descubrimiento de conocimiento basado en sistemas…

The goal of this work involves the developing of an argumentation-based formalism that an agent could use for constructing plans. In this formalism, agents will have certain knowledge about the world, and a set of actions that they will be…

The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Although there is no universally accepted de nition of intelligence, a notion of rational agency has been proposed as an alternative for the characterization of intelligent agency.
Modeling…
