Modern information retrieval systems need the capability to reason about the knowledge conveyed by text bases. In this paper a methodology to automatically create ontologies and cl...
Abstract. The use of formal methods provides confidence in the correctness of developments. Yet one may argue about the actual level of confidence obtained when the method itself...
In this paper we outline an algebraic tableau algorithm for the DL SHOQ, which supports more informed reasoning due to the use of semantic partitioning and integer programming. We ...
Abstract. The logic FO(ID) uses ideas from the field of logic programming to extend first order logic with non-monotone inductive definitions. The goal of this paper is to exten...
Combining theorem proving and model checking o ers the tantalizing possibility of e ciently reasoning about large circuits at high levels of abstraction. We have constructed a syst...
