In this paper we sketch a decidable inference-based procedure for lexical disambiguation which operates on semantic representations of discourse and conceptual knowledge, In contr...
Pervasive computing allows data to be collected using sensors and mobile devices. Recent studies, however, show that in emergency and crisis situations conventional access control ...
The last decade of basic research in the area of Description Logics (DL) has created a stable theory, efficient inference procedures, and has demonstrated a wide applicability of ...
Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual...
With resemblance of finite-state machines to some biological mechanisms in cells and numerous applications of finite automata in different fields, this paper uses analogies an...
