This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

A re-design process implies dealing with complex interactions between stakeholders, especially if we are talking about a personalization re-engineered process, which can be applied to an existing web application. In this context, knowledge becomes a main factor of influence, but…

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…

Este trabajo pretende ser una contribución al conocimiento de las sociedades prehispánicas del Noroeste argentino entre el 1000 d.C. y el 1536 d.C. El objetivo es caracterizar la tecnología lítica entendida como un fenómeno multidimensional sustentado en las relaciones sociales.…

En el presente estudio se analizan los proyectos productivos apoyados por el Programa 3x1 Para Migrantes en Zacatecas durante el periodo 2002-2007 a fin de determinar dentro del concepto de cultura emprendedora la identificación del giro en que les agradaría…

Ontologies serve as a mean to establish a conceptually concise basis for communicating knowledge for many purposes. Within the information integration area, ontologies are useful to solve heterogeneity problems. They provide a set of knowledge terms, including the vocabulary, the…

In this paper, an improvement of deformable template matching algorithm for polygonal objects in grayscale images using two-dimensional deformable templates along orthogonal curves is presented. In the process of pre-computing extensions of the deformable template along orthogonal curves, the novel…

The present article introduces a five-valued logic and a deductive system. Here, the logic presented is a relevant fragment of the @-logic, which is also a space-time logic. These five values correspond to the following semantics: unknown, possibly known but…

In this article we will introduce certain considerations that must be taken into account while implementing the change operations of the belief change theory. The abstract models of bellief change make no considerations in respecto to the internal structures of…
