We present a socially inspired approach that allows agents in Multi-Agent Systems to speed up their own learning process through communication. Thereby, they are able to trade off impact of knowledge by mutation dependent on the recent performance of the…

Software architecture constitutes the primary design of a software system. Consequently, architectural design decisions involved in architecture design have a key impact on the system in such aspects as future maintenance costs, resulting quality, and timeliness. However, the applied knowledge…

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…

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…

La mayoría de los sistemas de Vídeo bajo Demanda (VoD, Video on Demand) fueron diseñados para trabajar en redes dedicadas. Sin embargo, hay algunos sistemas que proveen servicio de VoD en redes de mejor esfuerzo y no dedicadas, pero ellos…

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).…

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…

Mediante técnicas paleoparasitológicas cuantitativas y cualitativas se examinaron los sedimentos de la cavidad pélvica de dos esqueletos humanos. Los individuos fueron hallados en dos enterratorios asociados al asentamiento español de fines de siglo XVI "Nombre de Jesús" (Cabo Vírgenes, provincia…
