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…

This article presents the confluence of two general ideas: Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP, an argumentation based formalism for representing knowledge and reasoning) and Abduction in logic. In first place, we introduce a framework that formally states the problem of doing…

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:…

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Este artigo apresenta um algoritmo Cultural Extendido para o problema do Despacho Econômico. O Algoritmo Cultural têm cinco categorias de conhecimento. Este trabalho visa demonstrar a aplicação do conhecimento histórico, que objetiva monitorar a busca e armazenar os eventos importantes…

El objetivo central de esta línea de investigación consiste en proponer distintas metodologías formales para representar el conocimiento en diversos sistemas argumentativos.
Como todo sistema simbólico, los sistemas argumentativos emulan el proceso de razonamiento como una manipulación dediversos símbolos. Esto…

Este artigo descreve alguns princípios para a produção de objetos educacionais ergonômicos, os quais possibilitam a maximização do processamento dos conhecimentos propostos, evitando-se a sobrecarga cognitiva.
Nesse sentido, os educadores precisam ser capazes de apropriar-se das novas tecnologias para poderem…

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,…
