A medida que o processo de desenvolvimento de software toma-se mais complexo, passa a ser imprescindível que os Ambientes de Desenvolvimento de Software (ADSs) ofereçam suporte inteligente para a execução das atividades do processo. Entretanto, a maioria dos ADSs com…

Este artigo apresenta urn ambiente para o desenvolvimento e uso de Sistemas Especialistas que funciona no ambiente operacional Microsoft Windows e que portanto utiliza os recursos de interface convencionais deste ambiente operacional. O sistema foi desenvolvido comotrabalho de conclusao do…

Frequently we become amazed with the increasing number of problems to be solved that fiourish while facing daily activities. Often, related to these problems we llave also an incredible amount oí data. Since we cannot allways afford time and resources…

The purpose of this paper is to describe how some theorems about constructions in categories can be seen as a way of doing generic programming. No prior knowledge of category theory is required to understand the paper.
We explore the…

SISPER é o protótipo de um sistema especialista para Psicologia. É um sistema de cunho acadêmico que foi desenvolvido para diagnosticar Distúrbios de Personalidade. As pessoas com Distúrbios de Personalidade, na terminologia técnica, apresentam sintomas aloplásticos e ego-sintônicos, ou seja,…

The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Although there is no universally accepted de nition of intelligence, a notion of rational agency has been proposed as an alternative for the characterization of intelligent agency.
Modeling…

The notion of context and its importance in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning was first discussed in Artificial Intelligence by John McCarthy.
Ever since, contexts have found many applications in developing knowledge-based reasoning systems.
Defeasible argumentation has gained wide acceptance…

The problem of speeding up ínference has proved to be important in argumentative systems. When computing dialectical structures, several paths are searched (called argumentation lines), many of which will eventually prove useless. Morover, the performance of backward chainers degrades quickly…

The matrix connection method (MCM) is an alternative procedure for theorem proving than the usual resolution technique. We already have used the MCM for finding models in a real-time knowledge-based system generator. In this paper, we adapt the MCM to…

In this study we propose the standard modal logic KD43 as the logle governing expressions about Utopia. We define a formal construction corresponding to Utopian expressions In ordlnary language that we name utopian eonditionals.
They possess the singular properties of…
