We propose a vision of the structure of knowledge and processes of learning based upon the particularity of experience. Highly specific cognitive structures are constructed through activities in limited domains of experience. For new domains, new cognitive structures develop from…

The ambiguity, robustness and performance of systems becomes increasingly evident as the complexity and size increase in industrial processes. Under these circumstances, conventional control techniques such as PID control, nonlinear feedback control, LQG control and H∞ control have several disadvantages…

This paper descries D-SCRIPT, a language for representing knowledge in artificial intelligence programs. D-SCRIPT contains a powerful formalism for descriptions, which permits the representation of statements that are problematical for other systems. Particular attention is paid to problems of opaque…

La necesidad de dotar de multilingualidad a sistemas basados en el conocimiento
plantea un nuevo reto a la investigación en Inteligencia Artificial. La mayoría de las estrategias
adoptadas en la actualidad para la representación de multilingualidad en bases de conocimiento…

The construction of expert problem-solving systems requires the development of techniques for using modular representations of knowledge without encountering combinatorial explosions in the solution effort. This report describes an approach to dealing with this problem based on making some knowledge…

La santé publique n’échappe pas au courant actuel qui valorise le développement d’une culture de décision et d’action axée sur l’utilisation des données probantes. Des études qui portent sur les services de santé et les politiques publiques en lien avec…

The supervision of postgraduate Master's Degree dissertations has attracted little attention in the
academic literature and is an under researched area of supervisory activity. This research was a
response to generate new knowledge concerning the praxis of supervisors who supervise…

La sociedad del conocimiento actual demanda que el ser humano mantenga una actitud de continuo aprendizaje. Pues la complejidad del aprendizaje
universitario comprende una red de elementos organizados con base en los principios: dialógico, recursivo y hologramático. El presente artículo

This work extends the semantics and implementation of fuzzy prolog presented in [VGM02] in order to include Default Knowledge capability. The new semantic allows non-uniform default assumptions and has Closed World Assumption (CWA) and Open World Assumption (OWA) as particular…

Undergraduate physiotherapy programmes aim to equip graduates with basic skills, knowledge and behaviours to allow them to
enter the profession. The aim of this study was to explore employers’ perceptions of key factors in work place preparedness of novice
physiotherapists.…
