Collaborative systems are becoming a widely used tool particularly among professional communities and research groups. They provide a suitable context for distributed people working on the same subject to concentrate their work in a shared place to which everyone has…

In this work we analyze the problem of knowledge representation in a collaborative multi-agent system where agents can obtain new information from others through communication. Namely, we analyze several approaches of belief revision in multi-agent systems. We will describe different…

This essay is based on a previous “regression” testing knowledge, black box testing and user graphic interfaces testing. Besides, due to the fact that the testing life cycle is inside the software life cycle, the suggested focus promotes existing test…

In the restricted single-machine common due date problem the goal is to find a schedule for the n jobs which jointly minimizes the sum of earliness and tardiness penalties, while for the weighted tardiness problem the goal is to find…

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…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

Knowledge representation models are very important in the design of intelligent agents because they provide with mechanisms to manage beliefs and their dynamics. In this paper, we propose the use of AnsProlog* as a knowledge representation language, and develop a…

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…

No sistema tradicional de ensino e também na grande maioria dos Ambientes Computacionais de Aprendizagem todos os estudantes são avaliados de maneira uniforme independente do seu nível de aquisição de conhecimentos e dos conteúdos abordados. O insucesso recorrente nessas avaliações…

Los modelos de ciclo de vida actuales tienden a presentar, normalmente, cierta linealidad en su dinámica asociada. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo, a través de interrelacionar diversas áreas del conocimiento, mostrar que el continuum, casi siempre, no se corresponde…
