In this extended abstract an optimization technique, the so-called signature calculus, for reasoning with number restrictions in description logics is investigated. The calculus i...
This paper investigates an optimization technique for reasoning with qualified number restrictions in the description logic ALCQHR+ . We present a hybrid architecture where a stan...
Motivated by a chemical process engineering application, we introduce a new concept constructor in Description Logics (DLs), an n-ary variant of the existential restriction constr...
Abstract. We propose an approach for extending a tableau-based satisfiability algorithm by an arithmetic component. The result is a hybrid satisfiability algorithm for the Descript...
Forthcoming in the Journal of Aritificial Intelligence We introduce mathematical programming and atomic decomposition as the basic modal (T-Box) inference techniques for a large c...
