Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In order to advise users in choosing parallel machines to run their applications, we want to establish a general methodology, requiring as shallow…

There are many areas in Computer Science where time plays an important role. Artificial Intelligence is one of them. In this particular area Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) was developed to cope with incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. This formalism combines…

En esta comunicación presentaremos el trabajo que estamos realizando, centrado en la creación de entornos que permitan la construcción conjunta del conocimiento mediante herramientas informáticas, en concreto la herramienta Knowledge Forum como elemento mediador en el proceso de discusión y…

Hoy en día, se puede afirmar, que las organizaciones que son innovadoras son aquellas que construyen y gestionan efectivamente sus recursos intangibles. Así, aparece la necesidad ineludible de proporcionar a las organizaciones los conocimientos que necesitan, donde los necesiten, cómo…

Los paradigmas, las técnicas y las prácticas producto de tradiciones regulan las formas de transmisión del saber, estableciendo las concepciones de sujeto, así como las nociones de cuerpo, de prácticas corporales y, sobre todo, de cómo se educa lo “corporal”.

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

The information in this chapter is the result of a research carried out between 2001 and 2005 on Mbya Guarani communities in the province of Misiones (Argentina) focused on the study of health – illness processes in the first stages…

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…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…
