Abstract. We show that subsumption problems in EL and related description logics can be expressed as uniform word problems in classes of semilattices with monotone operators. We us...
A critical problem for practical KR is dealing with relationships that change over time. This problem is compounded by representation languages such as OWL that are biased towards ...
The standard reasoning problem, concept satisfiability, in the basic description logic ALC is PSPACE-complete, and it is EXPTIMEcomplete in the presence of unrestricted axioms. Sev...
In this paper, we propose a logical approach to represent and reason about different time granularities. We identify a time granularity as a discrete infinite sequence of time po...
Satisfiability algorithms for propositional logic have improved enormously in recently years. This improvement increases the attractiveness of satisfiability methods for first-orde...
