This paper presents the automatic extension of TERSEO to other languages,
a knowledge-based system for the recognition and
normalization of temporal expressions, originally developed for
Spanish.

TERSEO was extended to English and Italian through the
automatic translation of the…

A pesar del progreso que se realiza en el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (PLN) aún estamos lejos de la Comprensión del Lenguaje Natural. Un paso importante hacia este objetivo es el desarrollo de técnicas y recursos que traten conceptos en…

Virtual laboratories offer many advantages for the teaching of technological subjects, such as flexibility in time-tables and
student access to expensive and limited equipment. However, it is also important to evaluate the acceptability of such
laboratories by the students and…

IT Outsourcing (contracting-out of Information Technology services) has become a
pivotal economic trend in recent decades. This study traces the interlacing of IT
Outsourcing with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software systems. Little research
has considered the reciprocal relations between these…

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…

In this work two declarative approaches based on the BDI theory are studied, an agent programming language 3APL and an agent architecture that uses defeasible argumentation for knowledge representation and reasoning. Based on that study and considering that in 3APL…

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standards and technologies provides the basic…

This work belongs to the Project "Teaching and learning Psychology: a study of the educational practice in professors and beginners". It is part of an investigation program developed in the context of the subject "Didactic and Practical Planning of Psychology…

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…

The development of systems with the ability to reason about change notion and actions has been of great importance for the artificial intelligence community. The definition and implementation of systems capable of managing defeasible, incomplete, unreliable, or uncertain information has…
