In systems where agents are required to interact with a partially known and dynamic world, sensors can be used to obtain further knowledge about the environment. However, sensors may be unreliable, that is, they may deliver wrong information (due, e.g.,…

This paper describes a small scale collaborative research project designed to
promote undergraduate students’ academic literacy through proactive
methods of support embedded within the content of an early childhood
education module. Two of the professionals involved in the project offer

Originally published in Rhizomes, an international peer-reviewed online journal. Reprinted in Giffney, N. ed., 2008. Queering the Non/Human. London: Ashgate., Subjectivities configured as post-human may challenge investments in former configurations of what it means to be human, but there remains…

Este artículo describe la integración de ontologías en formato OWL como
fuentes de conocimiento externas de un sistema de diálogo. El presente trabajo se
centra en conseguir un agente que gestione cualquier ontología independientemente

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

Social knowledge is one of the key aspects of MAS in order to face complex problems in dynamical environments. However, it is usually incorporated without specific support on behalf of the platform and that does not let agents take all…

The goal of this thesis is to apply the computational approach to motor learning, i.e., describe the constraints that enable performance improvement with experience and also the constraints that must be satisfied by a motor learning system, describe what is…

We live in a world, where common sense is applied almost everywhere. To apply
common sense is to understand simple facts about people and everyday life.
The study of commonsense knowledge and reasoning is important, whether to
help understand…

This paper considers Aristotle’s account of technē (craft-knowledge) and the relationship it bears to phronesis (the capacity for excellent ethical deliberation). Neither techne nor phronesis are exclusively intellectual: both require practice and an evaluative capacity. Phronesis, however, structures a person’s…

Computing is a broad discipline that crosses the boundaries between mathematics, science, and engineering. New computing disciplines emerge over time and knowledge changes rapidly in computing. Therefore, several reports that define and update guidelines for computing curricula have appeared over…
