We propose a framework for multi-issue bilateral negotiation, where issues are expressed and related to each other via Description Logics. Agents’ goals are expressed through (c...

Abstract. This paper presents the results of applying RACE, a description logic system for ALCNHR+ , to modal logic SAT problems. Some aspects of the RACE architecture are discusse...
We present a new tableaux calculus deciding the ABox consistency problem for the expressive description logic ALCNHR+ . Prominent language features of ALCNHR+ are number restricti...
Abstract. We extend different Description Logics by concrete domains (such as integers and reals) and by aggregation functions over these domains (such as min;max;count;sum), which...
Transitive propagation along properties can be modelled in various ways in the OWL description logic. Doing so allows existing description logic reasoners based on the tableaux alg...
Abstract. W3C's OWL has gained wide acceptance in the agent community and it has already been used in many agent applications which we think syntactically. By taking advantage...
We investigate the computational complexity of axiom pinpointing, which is the task of finding minimal subsets of a Description Logic knowledge base that have a given consequence...
We define a new operation in description logics, the difference operation or subtraction operation. This operation allows to remove from a description as much as possible of the i...
Description Logics form a family of formalisms closely related to semantic networks but with the distinguishing characteristic that the semantics of the concept description langua...
Abstract. We describe two methods on the basis of which efficient resolution decision procedures can be developed for a range of description logics. The first method uses an orderi...
