We investigate (quantifier-free) spatial constraint languages with equality, contact and connectedness predicates, as well as Boolean operations on regions, interpreted over low-...

We study the problem of deciding whether two ontologies are inseparable w.r.t. a signature Σ, i.e., whether they have the same consequences in the signature Σ. A special case is...
It is known that for temporal languages, such as firstorder LT L, reasoning about constant (time-independent) relations is almost always undecidable. This applies to temporal des...

We consider positive rules in which the conclusion may contain existentially quantified variables, which makes reasoning tasks (such as Deduction) undecidable. These rules have t...
We consider nondeterministic and probabilistic termination problems in a process algebra that is equivalent to basic chemistry. We show that the existence of a terminating computat...
