This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

My dissertation centers on the meaning of dreams as interpreted by literati in the late Ming (1368-1644), viewed through the lens of the 1636 encyclopedia Forest of Dreams. This thirty-four-juan tome is the largest extant Chinese dream encyclopedia and includes…

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…
