      Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a good technique to solve new problems based in previous experience. Main assumption in CBR relies in the hypothesis that similar problems should have similar solutions. CBR systems retrieve ...
    • Argumentation-based framework for industrial wastewater discharges management 

      Aulinas, Montse; Tolchinsky Landsmann, Francisco; Turon, Clàudia; Poch, Manel; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises (2012-03)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The daily operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in unitary sewer systems of industrialized areas is of special concern. Severe problems can occur due to the characteristics of incoming flow. In order to avoid ...
    • Bacterial transformation and biodegradation processes simulation in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands using CWM1-RETRASO 

      Llorens Ribes, Esther; Saaltink, Maarten Willem; Poch, Manel; García Serrano, Joan (2011-01-01)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The performance and reliability of the CWM1-RETRASO model for simulating processes in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSSF CWs) and the relative contribution of different microbial reactions to organic ...
    • DEPUR: a knowledge-based tool for wastewater treatment plants 

      Serra, Pau; Sànchez-Marrè, Miquel; Lafuente Sancho, Francisco Javier; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises; Poch, Manel (1993-11)
      Report de recerca

      A malfunction of a wastewater treatment plant is a big social and biological problem. A poorly treated waste water outside the plant could provoke dangerous consequences for human beings as well as the nature itself. The ...
    • LINNEO+: a classification methodology for ill-structured domains 

      Béjar Alonso, Javier; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises; Poch, Manel (1993-04)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In this work we present a methodology oriented to domains with a weak structure (ill-domains) for, using inductive conceptual learning techniques (descriptive generalization) and classification, discover concepts through ...
    • Supporting decision making in urban wastewater systems using a knowledge-based approach 

      Aulinas, Montse; Nieves Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises; Poch, Manel (Elsevier, 2011-05-01)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The use of knowledge-based systems has been shown to be a suitable approach to support decision making in environmental systems. Capturing and managing the huge quantity of data/information that has to be considered is an ...
    • Using entropy-based local weighting to improve similarity assessment 

      Núñez, Héctor; Sànchez-Marrè, Miquel; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises; Comas, Joaquim; Rodriguez-Roda, Ignasi; Poch, Manel (2002-06)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      This paper enhances and analyses the power of local weighted similarity measures. The paper proposes a new entropy-based local weighting algorithm to be used in similarity assessment to improve the performance of the CBR ...
