Large scale ontology applications require efficient and robust description logic (DL) reasoning services. Expressive DLs usually have very high worst case complexity while tractab...
Model-driven development (MDD) has become a promising trend in software engineering. The model-driven development of highly complex software systems may lead to large models which ...
Metadata processing is recognized as a central challenge for database research in the next decade. Already, novel desktop data management and search applications (cf. Apple’s Spo...
Multi-valued logics support the explicit modeling of uncertainty and disagreement by allowing additional truth values in the logic. Such logics can be used for verification of dyn...
