Robotic soccer is a way of putting different developments in intelligent agents into practice, including not only problems such as multi-agent planning and coordination, but also physical problems related to vision and communication subsystems. In this work, we present the…

Information systems play an ever-increasing key role in our society. In particular, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with much more intelligent capabilities than those present in today’s Data-base Management Systems (DBMS).…

The Semantic Web purports to give computeraccessible meaning to the content of the World Wide Web. The rationale behind this project is to create an environment where all this information could be freely exchanged among diverse entities, yet retaining its…

Lawyers often need to look for previous similar legal cases when analysing new ones.
The more previous cases, the more time is spent. Classical search engines execute termbased retrieval, which may miss relevant documents as well as fetch several irrelevant…

This work describes a multi agent system designed to support the management of tacit knowledge that belongs to people of an organization. This is a distributed knowledge management system based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's…

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…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

Nowadays information circulates quickly in a human organization, what generates an internal difficulty in preserving inside the organization essential information to support decision-making. Decision Support Systems (DSS) aiding organizational decision-making, had, up to now, rigid inferences machines restricted to the…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…

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…
