In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

Since the rst programming language taught to students of the faculty of Applied Sciences is Scheme We brie y describe our preference for Scheme and give an overview of the course The controversial language choice induced a lot of reactions…

Nowadays information circulates quickly in a human organization, what generates an internal difficulty in preserving inside the organization essential information to support decision-making. Decision Support Systems (DSS) aiding organizational decision-making, had, up to now, rigid inferences machines restricted to the…

This article proposes a method for achieving an appropriate balance between the parameters of support, precision, and simplicity during the evolution of classification rules by means of genetic programming. The method includes an adaptive procedure in order to achieve such…

An application of Zadeh’s prototype theory in the Knowledge Acquisition process, is presented here, and as a practical example, to define a method for predicting the evolution of the forest fire occurrence-danger rate in INCEND-IA: A KBS for prediction and…

The matrix connection method (MCM) is an alternative procedure for theorem proving than the usual resolution technique. We already have used the MCM for finding models in a real-time knowledge-based system generator. In this paper, we adapt the MCM to…

The use of new technologies does not mean that the applied education model is modern. New technologies can be used in a way that follows the traditional education model, with all its deficiencies. The collaborative education model involves students in…

Robotic soccer is a way of putting different developments in intelligent agents into practice, including not only problems such as multi-agent planning and coordination, but also physical problems related to vision and communication subsystems. In this work, we present the…

Co-training can learn from datasets having a small number of labelled examples and a large number of unlabelled ones. It is an iterative algorithm where examples labelled in previous iterations are used to improve the classification of examples from the…

Software architecture constitutes the primary design of a software system. Consequently, architectural design decisions involved in architecture design have a key impact on the system in such aspects as future maintenance costs, resulting quality, and timeliness. However, the applied knowledge…
