We present a translation of looping alternating two-way automata into a comparably inexpressive description logic, which is contained in SHIQ. This enables us to perform the empti...
Agent systems that search the Semantic Web are seen as killer applications for description logic (DL) inference engines. The guiding examples for the Semantic Web involve informat...
The purpose of the chapter is to help someone familiar with DLs to understand the issues involved in developing an ontology for some universe of discourse, which is to become a co...
In this paper, we investigate the use of Description Logic (DL) for representing Product Behavioral constraints in Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems. In an integrated design app...
In this short position paper, the project of building intelligent business information infrastructure using semantic web, ontology, description logics, and other related knowledge...
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...
This paper presents an application of a DL reasoner to the optimization of an object-relational query language. Queries containing aggregate functions are difficult to optimize be...
