This paper demonstrates that it is possible to generate a reasonably accurate coordinate system on randomly distributed processors, using only local information and local communication. By coordinate systems we imply that each element assigns itself a logical coordinate that maps…

Investigamos la posibilidad de obtener patrones semánticos a gran escala para cualquier lengua usando solamente análisis superficial y generalizaciones semánticas básicas. Siendo este un experimento exploratorio sólo hemos realizado una evaluación cualitativa. Hemos comparado varios patrones semánticos de traducción de…

Emerging international research suggests that
enhancing teacher-student assessment for learning
(AfL) interactions is a key to enhancing student
learning. Planning frameworks that make explicit the
multiple dimensions of technology can be used to
extend teacher knowledge and focus interaction.
Effective…

Over the past decade, several prominent U.S.
organizations have suggested Americans – particularly
American students – should be more knowledgeable
about technology to be successful, well-rounded
citizens. However, these urgings have been made
largely in the absence of data about…

In questo articolo viene descritto un componente del sistema Anagrafe Nazionale delle Ricerche che consente l’integrazione dei dati dei brevetti EPO esportati dal software MIMOSA dell’European Patent Office (EPO). Il componente permette una migliore conoscenza dei soggetti iscritti all’anagrafe sotto…

This paper will address five questions that emerge
from the title of the Design and Technology
Association Education and International Research
Conference 2007: ‘Linking Learning’: (a) How can we
think about learning so that it informs our work in
design…

L'Anagrafe nazionale delle Ricerche è uno strumento per conoscere lo stato della ricerca in Italia. Il sistema informatico realizzato dal CILEA di Roma, in collaborazione e per conto del MUR (Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca), offre una serie di servizi…

The development of systems with the ability to reason about change notion and actions has been of great importance for the artificial intelligence community. The definition and implementation of systems capable of managing defeasible, incomplete, unreliable, or uncertain information has…

We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging approach that identifies, explains, and resolves…

This paper examines the issues and the solutions that have been studied in database (DB) integration research and tries to draw lessons from them for knowledge base (KB) integration.
