Context-sensitivity has been for long a subject of study in linguistics, logic and computer science. Recently the problem of representing and reasoning with contextual knowledge ha...
We combine the description logic ALC with the metric logics defined Entities that are conceived of as abstract points in the realm of ALC are given a spatial extension via an `ext...
One of the main concerns of constructive semantics is to provide a computational interpretation for the proofs of a given logic. In this paper we introduce a constructive semantics...
Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm of adaptation for a case-based reasoning system with cases and domain knowledge represented in the expressive description logic ALC. The ...
In this paper we propose a nonmonotonic extension ALC + Tmin of the Description Logic ALC for reasoning about prototypical properties and inheritance with exception. The logic ALC ...

In this chapter we will introduce description logics, a family of logic-based knowledge representation languages that can be used to represent the terminological knowledge of an a...
Abstract. A four-valued description logic has been proposed to reason with description logic based inconsistent knowledge bases. This approach has a distinct advantage that it can ...
