In probabilistic reasoning, the problems of existence and identity are important to many different queries; for example, the probability that something that fits some description...
We extend the theory about terminological default reasoning by using a logical base language that can represent spatioterminological phenomena. Based on this description logic lang...
We present a translation of looping alternating two-way automata into a comparably inexpressive description logic, which is contained in SHIQ. This enables us to perform the empti...
In this paper we argue that for realistic applications involving default reasoning it is necessary to reason about the priorities of defaults. Existing approaches require the know...
Abstract. Generalized closed world reasoning allows for the assumption of a specified maximal set of negated atomic assertions retaining the consistency of an indefinite knowledge ...
