Entrevista con Abel Posse

Estudio experimental de la efectividad de la entrevista abierta frente a la entrevista independiente de contexto

Resumen. OBJETIVO: Estudiar la efectividad relativa de las técnicas de entrevista abierta y entrevista independiente de contexto en la identificación de requisitos para sistemas software. MÉTODO: Experimento controlado ensayando dos factores: “tipo de entrevista” (abierta e independiente de contexto) y “tipo de problema” (identificación de requisitos para dos sistemas software distintos). Debid...

Argumentative Reasoning with ABEL

Most formal approaches to argumentative reasoning under uncertainty focus on the analysis of qualitative aspects. An exception is the framework of probabilistic argumentation systems. Its philosophy is to include both qualitative and quantitative aspects through a simple way of combining logic and probability theory. Probabilities are used to weigh arguments for and against particular hypothese...

Formal Development with ABEL

The Abel-Zeilberger Algorithm

We use both Abel’s lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger’s algorithm to find recurrence relations for definite summations. The role of Abel’s lemma can be extended to the case of linear difference operators with polynomial coefficients. This approach can be used to verify and discover identities involving harmonic numbers and derangement numbers. As examples, we use the Abel-Zeilberger alg...

Computing the Abel map

A Riemann surface is associated with its Jacobian through the Abel map. Using a plane algebraic curve representation of the Riemann surface, we provide an algorithm for the numerical computation of the Abel map. Since our plane algebraic curves are of arbitrary degree and may have arbitrary singularities, the Abel map of any connected compact Riemann surface may be obtained in this way.
