La imagen del enfermero en el siglo XVIII no
es nada favorecedora. Los manuales ofrecen
una imagen más adecuada a la realidad,
permitiendo la difusión epistemológica y la toma
de conciencia de su existencia. La imagen es definida

Durante los primeros años de civilización
los hombres manejaron los asuntos políticos,
sociales, económicos y culturales a través del
uso exclusivo de la oralidad: el razonamiento, las
normas, los tratados, entre otros; eran convenidos
y establecidos a través de la…

La investigación presenta como objetivo precisar las relaciones de pertinencia entre las variables estructurales del sistema de
conocimiento popular agrícola y las variables estructurales del desarrollo local al nivel rural como fundamento para promover
la transformación de la dinámica productiva…

A solution of problems in multiagent systems involves representing beliefs of agents immersed in dynamic environments. Observation-based Defeasible Logic Programming (ODeLP) is an argument-based logic programming language that is used to represent an agent’s knowledge in the context of a…

Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados" ("Knowledge Discovery in Databases", KDD) é um processo composto de várias fases iniciando com a coleta de dados para o problema e finalizando com a avaliação dos resultados finais. Este trabalho objetiva mostrar…

In the last decade several ways to formalize defeasible reasoning have been studied. A particular approach, defeasible argumentation, has been particularly successful to achieve this goal.
The inference process of argument-based systems is based on the interaction of ar- guments…

Increasingly, knowledge-based tasks such as new product development and market research are being conducted by geographically dispersed teams. Early evidence from knowledge-based view of the firm and geographically dispersed work literatures suggests that at least four kinds of knowledge gaps---transactive…

Knowledge-based Cascade-correlation is a neural network algorithm that combines inductive learning and knowledge transfer (Shultz & Rivest, 2001). In the present thesis, this algorithm is tested on several real-world and artificial problems, and extended in several ways. The first extension…

The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

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…
