Argumentation systems have substantially evolved in the past few years, resulting in adequate tools to model
some forms of common sense reasoning. This has sprung a new set of argument-based applications in diverse
areas.
In previous work, we defined how…

Most of the current wireless sensor networks are built for specific applications, with a tight coupling between them and the underlying communication protocols. We present a more flexible architectural approach for building WSNs, in which application-specific features are decoupled from…

Current interactive multimedia learning software can not be accessed by learners with disabilities. This is the case for students with vision disabilities. Modeling techniques are necessary to map real world experiences to virtual worlds by using 3D auditory representations of…

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).…

Se describe con un modelo orientado a objetos la estructura de la Lógica Descriptiva ALCN, junto a esta formalización se plantea un diseño que determina la satifactibilidad de conceptos. Un concepto C es satifactible en una A (ABox), si A…

The aim of this paper is to present an historical compendium of ISTEC’s activities in the region, highlighting its core ideas and principles, and how these have been successfully applied for the benefit of many higher education institutions. These aim…

El objetivo de esta investigación es el estudio de la problemática de inconsistencia que pueda aparecer en los Sistemas Basados en Conocimiento (SBC). Los SBC pueden ser clientes de muchas fuentes de información, y estas pueden contener información inconsistente al…

The Semantic Web purports to give computeraccessible meaning to the content of the World Wide Web. The rationale behind this project is to create an environment where all this information could be freely exchanged among diverse entities, yet retaining its…

Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In the general case, researchers who consult us do not own the sources to the parallel programs they run. In order to advise…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…
