Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, derives the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) over which propert...
We show that, although conjunctive queries over OWL 2 QL ontologies are reducible to database queries, no algorithm can construct such a reduction in polynomial time without changi...

The goal of producing a general purpose, semantically motivated, and computationally tractable deductive reasoning service remains surprisingly elusive. By and large, approaches t...

Large scale ontology applications require efficient and robust description logic (DL) reasoning services. Expressive DLs usually have very high worst case complexity while tractab...
Cardinality constraints or, more generally, weight constraints are well recognized as an important extension of answer-set programming. Clearly, all common algorithmic tasks relat...
