We introduce an extension of Description Logics (DLs) for representing and reasoning about contextualized knowledge. Our formalism is inspired by McCarthy’s theory of formalizing...
Combining various knowledge types - and reasoning methods - in knowledge-based systems is a challenge to the knowledge representation task. The paper describes an object-oriented,...
In pattern recognition, data integration is a processing method to combine multiple sources so that the combined result can be more accurate than a single source. Evidence theory ...
Abstract. This paper shows how systems can be built from their component parts with specified sharing. Its principle contribution is a modular language for configuring systems. A c...
Abstract. In the context of combinations of theories with disjoint signatures, we classify the component theories according to the decidability of constraint satisability problems ...
