Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Although there is no universally accepted de nition of intelligence, a notion of rational agency has been proposed as an alternative for the characterization of intelligent agency.

The article describes the proposition and implementation of a demonstration, learning and decision support system for the resolution of combinatorial optimization problems under multiple objectives. The system brings together two key aspects of higher education: research and teaching. It allows…

We identify different kinds of relevance relations between formulas that emerge in the process of belief revision. Informal definitions for alternative notions of relevance are suggested and a set of schemas and intuitive postulates for formalizing these notions are proposed.

La noción de formularios como una manera de organizar y presentar datos ha sido usada desde el comienzo de la World Wide Web. Los formularios web han evolucionado junto con el desarrollo de nuevos lenguajes de marcado, en los cuales…

The general objective of this thesis is the development of an adaptive technique for extracting knowledge in large databases. Nowadays, technology allows storing huge volumes of information. For this reason, the availability of techniques that allow, as a first stage,…

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…

In this paper, we present a new model of an artificial
immune system (AIS), based on the process
that suffers the T-Cell, it is called T-Cell
Model. It is used for solving constrained (numerical)
optimization problems. The model operates
on…
