We identify different kinds of relevance relations between formulas that emerge in the process of belief revision. Informal definitions for alternative notions of relevance are suggested and a set of schemas and intuitive postulates for formalizing these notions are proposed.

The requirements elicitation phase of software development projects is characterised by the intensity and importance of communication activities. Requirements elicitation is a traditional exploratory phase in which context is analysed and an abstraction is performed as a consequence. However, exploratory…

In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…

Determining an optimal schedule to minimize the completion time of the last job abandoning the system (makespan) becomes a very difficult problem when there are more than two machines in the flow shop. Due both to its economical impact and…

En el presente trabajo se presenta una propuesta de modelo de un Sistema Autónomo Inteligente (AIS) a través de una ontología sobre la base de la arquitectura LOPE-LC (Learning by Observation in Planning Environments, Life Cycle) con la incorporación de…

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…
