The aim of this work is to analyze the knowledge interchange on multi-agent systems using shared knowledge areas. The project involves the analysis and reformulation of some aspects of the Linda model, adding new model level features. This work proposes…

We have developed a distributed DSS able to work in a dynamic way. This system is based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's queries and visit the DSS domains gathering the required information. One of the…

In logic programs, negation-as-failure has been used both for representing negative information and for providing default nonmonotonic inference. In this paper we argue that this twofold role is not only unnecessary for the expressiveness of the language, but it also…

In the last years there has been an increasing demand of a variety of logical systems, prompted
mostly by applications of logic in AI, logic programming and other related areas. Labeled Deductive
Systems (LDS) were developed as a °exible methodology…

Mountain papaya fruits (Vasconcella pubescens) were tested for firmness with a nondestructive acoustic method for 14 days after harvest. The response of each fruit was analyzed with the Fourier transform to obtain a firmness index (FI) based on the second…

Although current literature on learning styles shows that matching a teacher’s instructional style with the learning styles of students affects performance in a classroom environment, little is known about the influence of learning styles in online interaction. The paper argues…

Inheritance is one of the most important object-oriented mechanisms, allowing code reuse and a conceptual hierachical modelling of a given domain.
However, as a white-box reuse mechanism, it introduces hidden (implicit) coupling between classes in a hierarchy. This problem makes…

La mayoría de los sistemas de Vídeo bajo Demanda (VoD, Video on Demand) fueron diseñados para trabajar en redes dedicadas. Sin embargo, hay algunos sistemas que proveen servicio de VoD en redes de mejor esfuerzo y no dedicadas, pero ellos…

La finalidad de este proyecto es la de generar una metodología, con las técnicas y herramientas corerspondientes; para brindar información relativa al costo de desarrollo de un Sistema Experto. En base a la propuesta, los CIO´s (Chief Information Officer) podrán…
