A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

Frequently we become amazed with the increasing number of problems to be solved that fiourish while facing daily activities. Often, related to these problems we llave also an incredible amount oí data. Since we cannot allways afford time and resources…

In order to deal with the Ontology Change problem and considering an environment where Description Logics (DLs) are used to describe ontologies, the question of how to integrate distributed ontologies appears to be in touch with Belief Revision since DL…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

El presente trabajo propone un modelo pedagógico basado en el conocimiento experto de docentes de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la UNMDP. Para su construcción, se ha usado el modelo de Anthony Grasha el cual propone una tipología fundamentada en…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

Los agentes pueden definirse como componentes de software (programas) activos que perciben, razonan y se comunican a través de un protocolo predefinido. Muy generalmente, como en el caso de la World Wide Web, los agentes no son desarrollados en aislamiento…

Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is a knowledge representation formalism that combines results from Logic Programming and Defeasible Argumentation to provide reasoning based on contradictory and potentially incomplete information. DeLP allows information representation by using weak rules and provides an argumentation…

Las perspectivas para la Ingeniería del Software (IS) y del Conocimiento (IC) conducen hacia un desarrollo conjunto que permita la construcción de sistemas que integren software convencional (SC) y software basado en conocimientos.

Alcanzado este punto, los desarrolladores de…

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…
