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…

Resumen: Having as a source the speech of the President of Ecuador Rafael Correa in the fiftieth anniversary of FLACSO, the author points out the several challenges faced by Latin American Social Sciences nowadays. The critical recovery of past production…

National Research and Education Network organizations (NRENs) provide advanced information and communication technology (ICT) services for the academic community of their country. Their focus is often on providing affordable high speed bandwidth amongst their members and to other research networks,…

The relationships of friendship are not to the margin of the complex social relationships determining behaviors that favor or they distort the behavior waited by the society, fundamentally of the adolescents. Nevertheless when investigating on the relationships of friendship it…

Resumen: En este discurso, Rafael Correa Delgado propone una retrospectiva y un balance de las ciencias sociales en América Latina. En primer lugar, bosqueja un mapa de la herencia intelectual latinoamericana en la que existía una decidida preocupación por las…

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…

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…

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…

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…

In this paper, we present a novel model of an artificial immune system (AIS), based on the process that suffers the T-Cell. The proposed model is used for solving constrained (numerical) optimization problems. The model operates on three populations: Virgins,…
