In an m-machines n-jobs flow-shop sequencing problem each job consists of m operations and each operation requires a different machine, so n jobs have to be processed in the same sequence on m machines. The processing time of each job…

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

Un Sistema Tutor Iteligente (STI) es una aplicación cuyo objetivo se centra en la enseñanza personalizada y su principal característica es la adaptación dinámica de la instrucción de acuerdo al perfil y actividad del alumno, para lo cual incorpora técnicas…

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…

La explotación de información es un elemento fundamental de un proceso más amplio que tiene como objetivo el descubrimiento de conocimiento en grandes bases de datos [Fayyad et al., 1996; Britos et al., 2005], en inglés “Knowledge Discovery in Databases”…

In the restricted single-machine common due date problem the goal is to find a schedule for the n jobs which jointly minimizes the sum of earliness and tardiness penalties, while for the weighted tardiness problem the goal is to find…

Mountain papaya fruits (Vasconcella pubescens) were tested for firmness with a nondestructive acoustic method for 14 days after harvest. The response of each fruit was analyzed with the Fourier transform to obtain a firmness index (FI) based on the second…

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 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…
