In systems where agents are required to interact with a partially known and dynamic world, sensors can be used to obtain further knowledge about the environment. However, sensors may be unreliable, that is, they may deliver wrong information (due, e.g.,…

In this paper a cross-disciplinary study of the use of epistemic markers as hedging rhetorical strategies in research articles in English is carried out. Based on computer readable data, and combining quantitative and
qualitative methods, the article argues that the…

En la literatura aparecen más de tres millones de artículos acerca de
las proteínas y sus interacciones (PPI). En este trabajo se expone una arquitectura
plausible y algunos experimentos preliminares de nuestro sistema de extracción de
información sobre interacciones entre…

This paper discusses questions about communication of probabilistic knowledge in the light of current theories of agent communication. It will argue that there is a semantic gap between these theories and research areas related to probabilistic knowledge representation and communication,…

The success of personal information agents depends on their capacity to both identify relevant information for users and proactively recommend context-relevant information. In this paper, we propose an approach to enable proactive context-aware recommendation based on the knowledge of both…

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…

Social knowledge is one of the key aspects of MAS in order to face complex problems in dynamical environments. However, it is usually incorporated without specific support on behalf of the platform and that does not let agents take all…

The goal of this thesis is to apply the computational approach to motor learning, i.e., describe the constraints that enable performance improvement with experience and also the constraints that must be satisfied by a motor learning system, describe what is…

This paper describes a small scale collaborative research project designed to
promote undergraduate students’ academic literacy through proactive
methods of support embedded within the content of an early childhood
education module. Two of the professionals involved in the project offer

The aim of this article is to investigate and bring
to light the constructive impact of Knowledge
Creation and Technology Education on the
process of New Product Development. This is
done under the competence-based perspective
of the organization, where knowledge…
