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…

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…

We present a socially inspired approach that allows agents in Multi-Agent Systems to speed up their own learning process through communication. Thereby, they are able to trade off impact of knowledge by mutation dependent on the recent performance of the…

Este trabajo de investigación pretende brindar aportes que permitan mejorar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje bajo entornos informáticos, en alumnos con ciertas discapacidades auditivas, promoviendo el protagonismo del sujeto, mejorando el conocimiento, facilitando y optimizando el trabajo que supone la…

The methodology “b-learning” is a new teaching scenario and it requires the creation, adaptation and application of new learning tools searching the assimilation of new collaborative competences. In this context, it is well known the knowledge spirals, the situational leadership…

The application of the multilingual knowledge encoded in Wikipedia to an open–domain Cross–Lingual Question Answering system
based on the Inter Lingual Index (ILI) module of EuroWordNet is proposed and evaluated. This strategy overcomes the problems due to
ILI’s low coverage…

The lack of effective data integration and knowledge representation in patient monitoring limits its utility to clinicians. Intelligent alarm algorithms that use artificial intelligence techniques have the potential to reduce false alarm rates and to improve data integration and knowledge…

BACKGROUND:A variety of definitions of evidence-based practice (EBP) exist. However, definitions are in themselves insufficient to explain the underlying processes of EBP and to differentiate between an evidence-based process and evidence-based outcome. There is a need for a clear statement…

Heterogeneous azeotropic distillation is a widely used technique to separate binary azeotropic mixtures into their components. One of its most important applications is the dehydration of ethanol, which is blended with gasoline to obtain automobile fuel. Among all the compounds…
