This work extends the semantics and implementation of fuzzy prolog presented in [VGM02] in order to include Default Knowledge capability. The new semantic allows non-uniform default assumptions and has Closed World Assumption (CWA) and Open World Assumption (OWA) as particular…

The Knowledge Engineering Suite is an ontology production method, based on relationship networks, for knowledge representation inside specific contexts. The production of these ontologies has three basic steps, since catching the client data, knowledge base creation, and information retrieval and…

James Reinders (Chief Evangelist of Intel® Software at Intel) and Jim Jeffers (Principal Engineer at Intel)
have gathered in this book the working knowledge of the people involved to prototype and productize the Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessor. This include…

Collaborative systems are becoming a widely used tool particularly among professional communities and research groups. They provide a suitable context for distributed people working on the same subject to concentrate their work in a shared place to which everyone has…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…

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…

Ontology integration is the problem of combining data sources in the SemanticWeb. Concepts in source ontologies are captured in terms of concepts de ned in a global ontology. When some of these ontologies are inconsistent, the knowledge engineer often has…

The cognitive diagnosis is defined as the abstract process of gathering information about the student's learning and transforming that information based on instructional decisions. A model that captures the expert knowledge of experienced professors and is used to design a…

The Requirements Engineering is fundamental part of the process of software development. Even if a program uses the most advanced technologies and has the best source code, it is not useful if it does not meet your requirements. The large…

Multiagent systems and online communities rely on rating systems to infer the reputation given to an individual within a particular context. The notion of reputation is essential for helping a given individual to trust in other individuals and for being…
