This article discusses the development of an Intelligent Distributed Environmental Decision Support System, built upon the association of a Multi-agent Belief Revision System with a Geographical Information System (GIS). The inherent multidisciplinary features of the involved expertises in the field of environmental management, the need to define clear policies that allow the synthesis of divergent perspectives, its systematic application, and the reduction of the costs and time that result from this integration, are the main reasons that motivate the proposal of this project. This paper is organised in two parts: in the first part we present and discuss the developed ; in the second part we analyse its application to the environmental decision support domain, with special emphasis on the interface with a GIS.

Multi-agent architectures are well suited for complex inherently distributed problem solving domains. From the many challenging aspects that arise within this framework, a crucial one emerges: how to incorporate dynamic and conflicting agent beliefs? While the belief revision activity in a single agent scenario is concentrated on incorporating new information while preserving consistency, in a multi-agent system it also has to deal with possible conflicts between the agents perspectives. To provide an adequate framework, each agent, built as a combination of an assumption based belief revision system and a cooperation layer, was enriched with additional features: a distributed search control mechanism allowing dynamic context management, and a set of different distributed consistency methodologies. As a result, a Distributed Belief Revision Testbed (DiBeRT) was developed. This paper is a preliminary report presenting some of DiBeRT contributions: a concise representation of external beliefs; a simple and innovative methodology to achieve distributed context management; and a reduced inter-agent data exchange format.

In a real world multiagent system, where the agents are faced with partial, incomplete and intrinsically dynamic knowledge, conflicts are inevitable. Frequently, different agents have goals or beliefs that cannot hold simultaneously. Conflict resolution methodologies have to be adopted to overcome such undesirable occurrences. In this paper we investigate the application of distributed belief revision techniques as the support for conflict resolution in the analysis of the validity of the candidate beams to be produced in the CERN particle accelerators. This CERN multiagent system contains a higher hierarchy agent, the Specialist agent, which makes use of meta-knowledge (on how the con- flicting beliefs have been produced by the other agents) in order to detect which beliefs should be abandoned. Upon solving a conflict, the Specialist instructs the involved agents to revise their beliefs accordingly. Conflicts in the problem domain are mapped into conflicting beliefs of the distributed belief revision system, where they can be handled by proven formal methods. This technique builds on well established concepts and combines them in a new way to solve important problems. We find this approach generally applicable in several domains.

Os sistemas de informação empresariais têm vindo nos últimos anos a afirmar- se como ferramentas essenciais no mercado cada vez mais competitivo em que as empresas se encontram. Pretende-se com este trabalho aplicar uma metodologia de apoio à tomada de decisão baseada num modelo decisão multicritério que permite a avaliação e seleção de um sistema de informação (SI) num determinado contexto. Para atingir esse objetivo foi utilizado o estudo de caso na empresa Proef, SGSP. Foi então realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a gestão da cadeia de abastecimento, logística e teoria da decisão para dar suporte a todo o trabalho prático. Posteriormente foi aplicada a metodologia Multicritério para Apoio à seleção de SI – MMASSI/TI com base nos processos existentes na organização. Com recurso à aplicação informática foi obtido o sistema de informação mais adequado ao contexto de decisão, sendo este resultado avaliado através de uma análise de sensibilidade e robustez. Desta dissertação surgiram limitações e também recomendações futuras.

A sequência estratigráfica cenozóica da bacia do Guadiana entre Mérida e Badajoz está representada por depósitos de leque aluvial e fluviais. Neste trabalho apresenta-se urna primeira descrição de duas das unidades de preenchimento da bacia. A primeira corresponde a sedimentos de idade miocénica que se encaixaram nos depósitos de Ieque aluvial, que os antecedem, desenvolvendo um sistema fluvial com urna direcção principal E-W, caracterizado pela presença de barras e canais arenosos associados a níveis edáficos, com fraco desenvolvimento da planície de inundação. A segunda unidade, de idade pliocénica, representa a instalação de uma nova rede de drenagem que se sobrepõe e erode os sedimentos miocénicos. A direcção principal entre Mérida e Badajoz continua a ser E-W, para inflectir para o S em Badajoz. As facies pliocénlcas são essencialmente conglomeráticas e arenosas, correspondendo a canais móveis e barras formadas em consequência de processos de migração e encaixe da rede fluvial. Ambos os sistemas fluviais representam parte da evolução do preenchimento da bacia do Guadiana desde o Miocénico até ao Plio-Quaternário, sendo as principais diferenças entre ambos interpretadas como devidas a modificações tectónicas pre-quaternárias na região.

The mineral content (phosphorous (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu)) of eight ready-to-eat baby leaf vegetables was determined. The samples were subjected to microwave-assisted digestion and the minerals were quantified by High-Resolution Continuum Source Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HR-CS-AAS) with flame and electrothermal atomisation. The methods were optimised and validated producing low LOQs, good repeatability and linearity, and recoveries, ranging from 91% to 110% for the minerals analysed. Phosphorous was determined by a standard colorimetric method. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysing a certified reference material; results were in agreement with the quantified value. The samples had a high content of potassium and calcium, but the principal mineral was iron. The mineral content was stable during storage and baby leaf vegetables could represent a good source of minerals in a balanced diet. A linear discriminant analysis was performed to compare the mineral profile obtained and showed, as expected, that the mineral content was similar between samples from the same family. The Linear Discriminant Analysis was able to discriminate different samples based on their mineral profile.
