This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

In this paper, the two-dimensional strip packing problem with 3-stage level patterns is tackled using genetic algorithms (GAs). We evaluate the usefulness of a greedy seeding procedure for creating the initial population, incorporating problem knowledge. This is motivated by the…

O projeto da rede corporativa de uma empresa requer que sejam bem conhecidas as características, necessidades e tendências de evolução do seu ambiente de informática, as tecnologias e tipos de equipamentos de rede disponíveis no mercado e como tais tecnologias…

Classical knowledge production is an author-centered process. The emergence of cooperative internet technologies such as wikis or blogs shows a shift towards stronger cooperative production and communication of knowledge, closing the gap between readers and authors. The incorporation of such…

Este trabajo busca conocer cómo se distribuyen los artefactos líticos en el componente inferior, del Pleistoceno final, del sitio Casa del Minero 1, Meseta Central de Santa Cruz.
Estos estudios se vinculan con los análisis previos realizados en el sitio…

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…

Se podría pensar que la innovación es un proceso irregular que no se puede sistematizar. Hay organizaciones que no lo consideran de este modo, e intentan asegurar una gestión regular en el proceso de innovación. Sin embargo esta gestión no…

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…

Tardigrades constitute one of three clades of Xenarthra. Whereas modern tree sloths are common in the Amazonian Basin, their giant ground sloth "kin" were abundant throughout the Americas. During the Miocene, sloths were conspicuous faunal elements in Patagonia, generally considered…

Recent contributions to the knowledge of Gondwanan cynodonts highlight the presence in Africa of taxa previously recognized in South America and vice-versa. This is the case for the Middle Triassic Namibian fauna from the upper Omingonde Formation, where the first…
