This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

Little has been written about the component provision problem (programming plans and domain concepts) for the repositories of knowledge in program understanding systems and reports that specifically address this issue are unknown. Model-driven and plan-driven approaches use repositories where construction…

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”…

The analysis and classification of seeds are essential activities contributing to the final added value in the crop production. Besides varietal identification and cereal grain grading, it is also of interest in the agricultural industry the early identification of weeds…

A multiagent system (MAS) is made up of multiple interacting autonomous agents. It can be viewed as a society in which each agent performs its activity, cooperating to achieve common goals, or competing for them. Thus, every agent has the…

The knowledge imperfections should be considered when modeling complex problems. A solution is to develop a model that reduces the complexity and another option is to represent the imperfections: uncertainty, vagueness and incompleteness in the knowledge base. This paper proposes…

Uno de los grandes problemas de la educación a distancia soportada por computadora (e-learning) radica en que muchos de los estudiantes que inician un curso, se frustran, se sienten desmotivados, no logran asimilar los conocimientos y en consecuencia lo abandonan.…

El presente artículo trata la aplicación de un sistema experto capaz de determinar la factibilidad de funcionamiento de una máquina térmica desde el punto de vista termodinámico, mediante el análisis del diseño de un ciclo de potencia, el ciclo Joule…

In a production system it is usual to stress minimum tardiness to achieve higher client satisfaction.
According to the client relevance, job processing costs and requirements, and various other considerations, a weight is assigned to each job. An important, non-trivial,…

Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In order to advise users in choosing parallel machines to run their applications, we want to establish a general methodology, requiring as shallow…
