There exists a large amount of knowledge representation models. But most of them have significant limitations at the epistemic level. They do not have explanatory power. Most of them do not have means to represent some functional needs to work…

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…

The aim of this work is to relate two apparently independent concepts as belief revision and relevance. We propose a formal characterization for the notion of (ir)relevance by means of a set of postulates. Then we define (ir)relevance using change…

The genetic algorithms have seen applied in knowledge discovery and specially for discovering association rules. In this paper, we explore the use of di erent rule quality measures in the tness function in a genetic algorithm for discovering association rules.…

The article describes the proposition and implementation of a demonstration, learning and decision support system for the resolution of combinatorial optimization problems under multiple objectives. The system brings together two key aspects of higher education: research and teaching. It allows…

This paper deals with lifelong learning. Based on a three-year case study it provides evidence of innovations in this area. The paper aims to add to the body of work in blended learning by providing evidence of knowledge, persuasion, decision,…

This paper presents a group of elements to improve the teaching and learning in technological education, applied to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These elements are based on some contributions issued from contemporary education models, namely, the thematic approach, meaningful…

Much effort has been dedicated to provide a general model of agents working in complex environments. This research focuses on the high level cognition used in determining the behavior of the agent.
The language of the Situation Calculus represents a…

Robotic soccer is a way of putting different developments in intelligent agents into practice, including not only problems such as multi-agent planning and coordination, but also physical problems related to vision and communication subsystems. In this work, we present the…

The aim of this work is to present a data mining application to software engineering. We describe the use of data mining in some parts of the design process of a dynamic decision support system agent-based architecture. The main function…
