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…

In this paper, a restricted domain question answering (QA) system is described. The design architecture of this QA system and the features that allow the adaptation of the QA system to the medical domain are also presented. The advantages of…

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…

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…

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 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…

Abstract


This thesis examines literacy practices embedded in the home domain of three
transnational families from a new sending region in Mexico with the aim of
understanding the relationship between literacy and transnational migration.
Data was collected…

Anaesthetists are a group of doctors who are at a higher occupational risk of contracting blood borne infections as they perform many invasive procedures. Practice of Universal Precautions (UP) is vital in reducing the risk of transmission. The objective of…

Introduction: We report about the direct short-term effects of a Clinical Epidemiology and Evidence-based Medicine (CE-EBM) module on the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of students in the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), Universitas Indonesia (UI), and University of Malaya (UM).…
