Given an instance of an optimization problem together with an optimal solution, we consider the scenario in which this instance is modified locally. In graph problems, e. g., a singular edge might be removed or added, or an edge weight…

Although current literature on learning styles shows that matching a teacher’s instructional style with the learning styles of students affects performance in a classroom environment, little is known about the influence of learning styles in online interaction. The paper argues…

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…

This paper proposes an original generic hierarchical framework in order to facilitate the modeling stage of complex autonomous robotics mission planning problems with action uncertainties. Such stochastic planning problems can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes [5]. This work is…

The CRISTAL project has had significant achievements in the coordination of
the research work carried out by the consortium members on renewables, the enhancement of partners’ knowledge on Renewable Energy Sources and their integrated control and use, which contributes to…

The paper presents a case study illustrating a collaborative problem solving process in Virtual Communities of Practice. The process relies on the existence of an underlying shared knowledge base – a repository of resources, and is carried out collaboratively by…

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…

Un atout majeur des organisations consiste en leur capacité à créer et exploiter l’information et les connaissances, capacité déterminée entre autres par les comportements informationnels. Chargés de décisions stratégiques, tactiques et opérationnelles, les cadres intermédiaires sont au cœur du processus…

Using an audiovisual perception task, two groups of native English listeners
(monolinguals, and L2 learners of Spanish) were asked to identify
which /p,t,k/ tokens had been produced by native English speakers
and which ones by foreigners. The experiment found that…
