Just had to say ...
... I'm done with writing it. Now I just need to proof read it.
I know it has been a long time since my last post. I hope to have some more time from now on.

Simple Traffic Simulator
Just a tiny demonstration of a Simple Traffic Simulation I developed as a test case scenario for my Thesis. Drivers were modeled using the Inteligent Driver Model (IDM).

Mining Blogs
I'm currently pursuing a MsC on Artifical Intelligence. Recently I
started considering the idea of applying some of the stuff that I'm
learning to the blog world.
This article at New Scientist gave me a nice idea of something I could do rather easily.

Othello
An Othello game I made for my MsC.
Feel free to download it, source code is included and I hope it is
documented enough. It's too late for me to think straight, so
expect this not to work. 
You can see a screenshot of the game on the right. If you don't
like that yellow background (as I guess you won't cause I'm a
renowned terrible color chooser) you can change the colors by
editing the othello.properties file.

Evolutive Log Analyzer
Report.
Abstract:
Read more...
Server Administrators often have to analyze server logs to find if something is wrong with their machines. In larger systems these logs can become too large to inspect manually so some tools have been developed to aid the Server Administrator in this task. Most of these tools force the server administrator to define what he is expecting to find in the logs if everything is working correctly, and report all the lines that dont match what was defined as normal. This means that a enormous effort must be put into configuring these kind of log analyzers. This report tries to define a different kind of log analyzer, one that doesnt need a big setup effort and that can learn what is and what isnt normal as it inspects the system logs.

Deductive Databases
Paper.
Abstract:
Read more...
Logic programming has proven its merits in a variety of application areas including diagnostic expert systems, natural language processing and agent-based control systems. Prolog, as a logic programming language, has lots of advantages over more conventional procedural ones but it also has some drawbacks. Performance is the main problem this type of languages face. On the other hand Relational Databases are all about performance and surprisingly have lots of similarities with logic programming languages. Joining together this two fields resulted in a new one that we call Deductive Databases and that is what well discuss in this article.

Power Chess
This is version 1.0 of Power Chess. This application was developed for the Introduction to Artificial Inteligence class, of the 3rd year of my course. It was developed by André Restivo, Nuno Lopes and Sérgio Carvalho.
