Metrics used on development of expert systems is not a well investigated problem area. This article suggests some metrics to be used to measure the maturity of the conceptualization process and the complexity of the decision process in the problem…

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly…

En los últimos años han adquirido gran protagonismo en la enseñanza los conceptos de “redes de aprendizaje”, “trabajo cooperativo”, “trabajo colaborativo”, y otros tantos que hacen referencia a la importancia de las comunidades (con las negociaciones, acuerdos y desacuerdos, metas…

In this article we present a generalized dynamic argumentation framework that handles arguments expressed in an abstract language assumed to be some first order logic fragment. Once the formalism is presented, we propose a reification to the description logic ALC…

This paper aims to clarify an economic mechanism behind the growing dichotomy between geo-economics and the borderless global knowledge economy. The proposed hypothesis is that geo-economic fault-lines, which are the product of the past prejudices of racial, linguistic, and cultural…

Hoy en día, aparece la necesidad ineludible de proporcionar a las organizaciones los conocimientos que necesitan, donde los necesiten, cómo los necesiten y cuándo los necesiten. Esto es proporcionar los conocimientos en el momento oportuno; siendo necesario plantear la Gestión…

La Gestión del Conocimiento abarca un conjunto de procesos que administra el conocimiento de las organizaciones. Logra aumentar la creatividad y garantizar el éxito organizacional, ya que se fundamenta en el recurso más valioso con que actualmente cuentan las instituciones:…

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…

In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

This work describes the ontology construction process for the development of an Intelligent System for the Organization and Retrieval of Knowledge in Biodiversity – SISBIO. The system aims at the production of strategic information for the biofuel chain Two main…
