In this paper a methodology for accesing scientific data repositories on data grids is proposed. This methodology is based on ontology specification and knowledge representation. The concept of Knowledge Perspective is introduced, as the action of applying particular scientific conjectures…

Rough Sets Theory has opened new trends for the development of the Incomplete Information Theory. Inside this one, the notion of reduct is a very significant one, but to obtain a reduct in a decision system is an expensive computing…

This paper introduces an automatic procedure to assist on the interpretation of a large dataset when a similarity metric is available.
We propose a visualization approach based on a graph layout method- ology that uses a Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP)…

Co-training can learn from datasets having a small number of labelled examples and a large number of unlabelled ones. It is an iterative algorithm where examples labelled in previous iterations are used to improve the classification of examples from the…

The Intellectual Creation Diffusion Service (SeDiCi) of the UNLP was created with the main objective of communicating to the society all the knowledge acquired in different academic fields of our university. This is how we can return all the efforts…

In this work two declarative approaches based on the BDI theory are studied, an agent programming language 3APL and an agent architecture that uses defeasible argumentation for knowledge representation and reasoning. Based on that study and considering that in 3APL…

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…

Searching for information in databases or on the world wide web to enhance our knowledge has become an everyday task. The internet is a major source of information for education. When we want to make new material available in digital…

Although current literature on learning styles shows that matching a teacher’s instructional style with the learning styles of students affects performance in a classroom environment, little is known about the influence of learning styles in online interaction. The paper argues…

When using tableaux algorithms to reason about Description Logics (DLs), new information is inferred from the models considered while trying to achieve knowledge satisfiability. By focusing the ontology change problem, we consider an environment where DLs are the logical formalization…
