The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

Durante los primeros años de civilización
los hombres manejaron los asuntos políticos,
sociales, económicos y culturales a través del
uso exclusivo de la oralidad: el razonamiento, las
normas, los tratados, entre otros; eran convenidos
y establecidos a través de la…

A solution of problems in multiagent systems involves representing beliefs of agents immersed in dynamic environments. Observation-based Defeasible Logic Programming (ODeLP) is an argument-based logic programming language that is used to represent an agent’s knowledge in the context of a…

Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados" ("Knowledge Discovery in Databases", KDD) é um processo composto de várias fases iniciando com a coleta de dados para o problema e finalizando com a avaliação dos resultados finais. Este trabalho objetiva mostrar…

In the last decade several ways to formalize defeasible reasoning have been studied. A particular approach, defeasible argumentation, has been particularly successful to achieve this goal.
The inference process of argument-based systems is based on the interaction of ar- guments…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

En [2] Gerhard Brewka realizó una reconstrucción de la Teoría de Disputación Formal de Nicholas Rescher [5]. En su trabajo, Brewka completó la formalización de la presentación de Dialectics:
A Controversy-Oriented Approach to the Theory 01 Knowledge. El formalismo no..monótono…

Despite integration of advanced functions that enable Femto Access Points (FAPs) to be deployed in a plug-and-play manner, the femtocell concept still cause several opened issues to be resolved. One of them represents an assignment of Physical Cell Identifiers (PCIs)…
