The Requirements Engineering is fundamental part of the process of software development. Even if a program uses the most advanced technologies and has the best source code, it is not useful if it does not meet your requirements. The large…

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…

Knowledge representation models are very important in the design of intelligent agents because they provide with mechanisms to manage beliefs and their dynamics. In this paper, we propose the use of AnsProlog* as a knowledge representation language, and develop a…

The need for improving software processes approximated the software engineering and artificial intelligence areas. Artificial intelligence techniques have been used as a support to software development processes, particularly through intelligent assistants that offer a knowledge-based support to software process’ activities.…

The tools for fault impact analysis are important for the deployment of critical mission systems. These tools can be also used as a development phase aid. We introduce several concepts related to "business alarms". Business alarms are an approximation to…

The main advantage of a recurrent architecture is the ability to store information from prior system states. A recurrent fuzzy controller includes hidden fuzzy variables which makes the controller more appropriate to deal with dynamic systems. We are currently investigating…

In todays world where nearly every company is dependent on the Internet to survive, it is not surprising that the role of intrusion detection has become extremely important within the last decade. Intrusion detection involves determining whether some entity has…

En este trabajo se propone una metodología para mejorar las predicciones de incendios forestales. Utilizando un simulador ya desarrollado, se utiliza un algoritmo genético para realizar una búsqueda efectiva de parámetros de entrada tal que estos parámetros logren una buena…

In this work we analyze the problem of knowledge representation in a collaborative multi-agent system where agents can obtain new information from others through communication. Namely, we analyze several approaches of belief revision in multi-agent systems. We will describe different…

It has been noticed that during the initial semesters of Computing Engineering that the amount of human tutors is insufficient. The students/tutors ratio is very high and there is a great difference in the acquired knowledge and backgrounds. The idea…
