Marine fish farming has evolved slowly, as there are many variables that can limit before achieving the sustainable cultivation of specie. One of the major factors that determine the culture of a marine species is the high rate of mortality…

We discuss how data mining, patternbases and databases can be integrated into inductive databases, which make data mining an inductive query process. We propose a software architecture for such inductive databases, and extend this architecture to support the clustering of…

Las actividades humanas, el crecimiento demográfico y los procesos económicos y sociales pueden ejercer presiones sobre el recurso agua en cantidad y calidad adecuadas, haciendo necesario su manejo. La gestión sostenible del agua trasciende los aspectos de orden técnico y…

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…

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…
