An intuitionistic, hybrid modal logic suitable for reasoning about distribution of resources was introduced in [14, 15]. The modalities of the logic allow us to validate propertie...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and testing of a system for selecting necessary axioms from a large set also containing superfluous axioms, to obtain a proof of a...
Abstract. We describe the instance store, a system for reasoning about individuals (i.e., instances of classes) in OWL ontologies. By using a hybrid reasoner/database architecture,...
