After an impressive development throughout the last two decades, supported by a great
amount of research and innovation, science education seemed to be becoming a new scientific domain.
This transformation of Science Education into a specific field of research and…

In this work two declarative approaches based on the BDI theory are studied, an agent programming language 3APL and an agent architecture that uses defeasible argumentation for knowledge representation and reasoning. Based on that study and considering that in 3APL…

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

The occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON) was evaluated in 113 wheat samples from the northern and central/ southwestern regions of Paraná State, Brazil during the 2008 and 2009 growing seasons, and this rate of occurrence was used to estimate the DON…

La personalización de entornos ha suscitado un gran interés desde el punto de vista de los métodos de modelado conceptual de aplicaciones web. Ello es debido al efecto que tienen las políticas de personalización sobre todo el ciclo de desarrollo…

This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

Most neural network learning algorithms cannot use knowledge other than what is provided in the training data. Initialized using random weights, they cannot use prior knowledge such as knowledge stored in previously trained networks. This manuscript thesis addresses this problem.…

This study aimed to trace the development of the implementation of knowledge management initiatives in the public sector institutions in Jordan. The study was compared with precedent study had been conducted in 2004. The results showed there is very little…

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…

La inclusión de políticas de personalización en el marco de métodos hipermediales influye en todos los niveles de modelado de una aplicación web. Desde OO-H mantenemos que esta política de personalización debe facilitar la definición de aspectos no conocidos a…
