Abstract. This paper studies a technique for mapping ALCI knowledge bases into ALC. Worst-case optimal tableau-based procedures for the satisfiability/consistency problem w.r.t. g...
Recent efforts in the Conceptual Modelling community have been devoted to properly capturing time-varying information, and several proposals of temporally enhanced Entity-Relation...
The Ambient Logic is a modal logic proposed to describe the structural and computational properties of distributed and mobile computations. The static part of the Ambient Logic is,...
We present lower bounds on the computational complexity of satisfiability and subsumption in several description logics. We interpret these lower bounds as coming from different...
Description logics have been designed and studied in a modular way. This has allowed a methodic approach to complexity evaluation. We present a way to preserve this modularity in ...
