Effective systems for expressive description logics require a heavily-optimised subsumption checker incorporating a range of optimisation techniques. Because of the correspondence...
Ontologies are set to play a key r^ole in the "Semantic Web" by providing a source of shared and precisely defined terms that can be used in descriptions of web resource...
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...
We present extended conceptual logic programs (ECLPs), for which reasoning is decidable and, moreover, can be reduced to finite answer set programming. ECLPs are useful to reason ...

In this paper, we incorporate concrete domain and action theory into a very expressive Description Logic (DL), called ALCQO. Notably, this extension can significantly augment the ...
