Abstract. We investigate the concept product as an expressive feature for description logics (DLs). While this construct allows us to express an arguably very common and natural ty...
We discuss the problems of spatio-temporal reasoning in the context of hierarchical information maps and approximate reasoning networks (AR networks). Hierarchical information maps...
Abstract. This paper presents an approach for reasoning about action and change which appeals to the principle of Occam’s razor— roughly stating that the simplest explanations ...
The use of approximation as a method for dealing with complex problems is a fundamental research issue in Knowledge Representation. Using approximation in symbolic AI is not strai...
Abstract. To make ABox reasoning scalable for large ABoxes in description logic (DL) knowledge bases, we develop a method for partitioning the ABox so that specific kinds of reaso...
