Abstract. In this paper we focus on the problem of integrating knowledge bases expressed in a description logic. To this end, we propose three basic operations: union, intersection...
In this paper, we present a normal form for concept expressions in the description logic ALC which is based on a recently introduced notion of prime implicate for the modal logic ...
To ensure the re-use of domain ontologies the usual approach relies on a pivot language, e.g., Kif, intoandfromwhich the domainontologyis translated. This requires several distinc...
Delegation is a foundational concept for understanding and engineering systems that interact and execute tasks autonomously. By extending recent work on tensed action logic, it be...
Abstract. In this paper we motivate an Architecture Description Language (ADL) for mobile distributed systems based on the π-calculus. Different from other approaches, the non-fu...
