La biodiversidad es un atractivo para millones de turistas que viajan alrededor del mundo. Sin embargo la presión ejercida sobre la misma puede provocar la desaparición de especies o la interferencia en los procesos ecológicos que la sostienen. En la…

Information systems play an ever-increasing key role in our society. In particular, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with much more intelligent capabilities than those present in today’s Data-base Management Systems (DBMS).…

Los farmacéuticos y productos de cuidado personal (PPCPs) pertenecen al grupo contaminantes emergentes, su riego ambiental no se había detectado hasta hace una década. Recientemente, han sido reportados de causar efectos adversos sobre la vida silvestre y humana. Además, la…

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 ot…

In this paper a methodology for accesing scientific data repositories on data grids is proposed. This methodology is based on ontology specification and knowledge representation. The concept of Knowledge Perspective is introduced, as the action of applying particular scientific conjectures…

Argumentative formalisms have been widely recognized as knowledge representation and reasoning tools able to deal with incomplete and potentially contradictory informa- tion. All such formalisms are computationally demanding. Hence, optimizing argumen- tative systems has been approached from di erent views.

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…

In this paper, we build on previous work on Belief Revision operators based on the use of logic programming with Answer Set semantics as a representation language. We present a set of postulates for Answer Set Revision with respect to…

Little has been written about the component provision problem (programming plans and domain concepts) for the repositories of knowledge in program understanding systems and reports that specifically address this issue are unknown. Model-driven and plan-driven approaches use repositories where construction…

MoKEx (Mobile Knowledge Experience) is an international project in cooperation with universities and industrial partners. The project focuses on didactical, organizational and technical problems with regard to blended learning and knowledge management scenarios. In a project-based learning approach students of…
