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...
We consider expressive Description Logics (ALCN) allowing for number restrictions on complex roles built with combinations of role constructors. In particular, we are mainly inter...
For Description Logics with existential restrictions, the size of the least common subsumer (lcs) of concept descriptions may grow exponentially in the size of the input descripti...
Description logics have been designed and studied in a modular way. This has allowed a methodic approach to complexity evaluation. We present a way to preserve this modularity in ...
