The prey-predator pursuit problem is referenced many times in literature. It is a generic multi-agent problem whose solutions could by applied to many particular instances. Solutions proposed usually apply non-supervised learning algorithms to train prey and predators. Most of these…

Fish disease diagnosis is a complicated process and requires high level of expertise, an expert system for fish disease diagnosis is considered as an effective tool to help fish farmers. However, many farmers have no computers and are not able…

There are three kinds of uncertainty in the process of fish-disease diagnosis, such as randomicity, fuzzy and imperfection, which affect the veracity of fish-disease diagnostic conclusion. So, it is important to construct a fish-disease diagnostic model to effectively deal with…

The production of educational contents in academic environments has been traditionally developed without an integral plan which allows their adequate distribution and access. In addition, it produces effort duplication and misuse of resources. As a possible solution, this work proposes…

Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is an extension of Logic Programming capturing common-sense reasoning features. The DeLP language can manage defeasible reasoning, allowing the representation of defeasible and non- defeasible knowledge. Since DeLP syntax is based on a PROLOG-like notation, the…

Negative information can be represented in several classes of logic programs. These approaches were first motivated by the search for an appropriate declarative semantics for negation as failure. Recently, some formalizations of monotonic negation were also introduced in logic programming…

The aim of this work is to present a data mining application to software engineering. We describe the use of data mining in some parts of the design process of a dynamic decision support system agent-based architecture. The main function…

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…

Collaborative systems are becoming a widely used tool particularly among professional communities and research groups. They provide a suitable context for distributed people working on the same subject to concentrate their work in a shared place to which everyone has…
