An Intelligent Knowledge Management System from a Semantic Perspective
Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) are important tools by which organizations can better use information and, more importantly, manage knowledge. Unlike other strategies, knowledge management (KM) is difficult to define because it encompasses a range of concepts, management tasks, technologies, and organizational practices, all of which come under the umbrella of the information management. Semantic approaches allow easier and more efficient training, maintenance, and support knowledge. Current ICT markets are dominated by relational databases and document-centric information technologies, procedural algorithmic programming paradigms, and stack architecture. A key driver of global economic expansion in the coming decade is the build-out of broadband telecommunications and the deployment of intelligent services bundling. This paper introduces the main characteristics of an Intelligent Knowledge Management System as a multiagent system used in a Learning Control Problem (IKMSLCP), from a semantic perspective. We describe an intelligent KM framework, allowing the observer (a human agent) to learn from experience. This framework makes the system dynamic (flexible and adaptable) so it evolves, guaranteeing high levels of stability when performing his domain problem P. To capture by the agent who learn the control knowledge for solving a task-allocation problem, the control expert system uses at any time, an internal fuzzy knowledge model of the (business) process based on the last knowledge model.knowledge management, fuzzy control, semantic technologies, computational intelligence

Contextual and Possibilistic Reasoning for Coalition Formation
In multiagent systems, agents often have to rely on other agents to reach
their goals, for example when they lack a needed resource or do not have the
capability to perform a required action. Agents therefore need to cooperate.
Then, some of the questions raised are: Which agent(s) to cooperate with? What
are the potential coalitions in which agents can achieve their goals? As the
number of possibilities is potentially quite large, how to automate the
process? And then, how to select the most appropriate coalition, taking into
account the uncertainty in the agents' abilities to carry out certain tasks? In
this article, we address the question of how to find and evaluate coalitions
among agents in multiagent systems using MCS tools, while taking into
consideration the uncertainty around the agents' actions. Our methodology is
the following: We first compute the solution space for the formation of
coalitions using a contextual reasoning approach. Second, we model agents as
contexts in Multi-Context Systems (MCS), and dependence relations among agents
seeking to achieve their goals, as bridge rules. Third, we systematically
compute all potential coalitions using algorithms for MCS equilibria, and given
a set of functional and non-functional requirements, we propose ways to select
the best solutions. Finally, in order to handle the uncertainty in the agents'
actions, we extend our approach with features of possibilistic reasoning. We
illustrate our approach with an example from robotics
A first approach to the multipurpose relational database server
In this paper, an architecture and an implementation of a multipurpose relational database server are proposed. This architecture enables classical queries to be executed, deductions to be made, and data mining operations
to be performed on fuzzy or classical data. The proposal of this integration is to combine several ways of querying different types of data. In order to achieve this, a combination of existing metaknowledge bases and new data
catalog elements is presented. We also introduce a language for handling all these data coherently and uniformly on the basis of classical SQL sentences
Towards Contingent World Descriptions in Description Logics
The philosophical, logical, and terminological junctions between Description Logics (DLs) and Modal Logic (ML) are important because they can support the formal analysis of modal notions of ‘possibility’ and ‘necessity’ through the lens of DLs. This paper introduces functional contingents in order to (i) structurally and terminologically analyse ‘functional possibility’ and ‘functional necessity’ in DL world descriptions and (ii) logically and terminologically annotate DL world descriptions based on functional contingents. The most significant contributions of this research are the logical characterisation and terminological analysis of functional contingents in DL world descriptions. The ultimate goal is to investigate how modal operators can – logically and terminologically – be expressed within DL world descriptions
Approaches to uncertain or imprecise rules: a survey
With this paper we present a brief overview of selected prominent approaches to rule frameworks and formal rule languages for the representation of and reasoning with uncertain or imprecise knowledge. This work covers selected probabilistic and possibilistic logics, as well as implementations of uncertainty and possibilistic reasoning in rule engine software
