Description logics (DLs) have a long tradition in computer science and knowledge representation, being designed so that domain knowledge can be described and so that computers can reason about this knowledge. DLs have recently gained increased importance since they form the logical basis of widely used ontology languages, in particular the web ontology language OWL. Written by four renowned experts, this is the first textbook on description logics. It is suitable for self-study by graduates and as the basis for a university course. Starting from a basic DL, the book introduces the reader to their syntax, semantics, reasoning problems and model theory and discusses the computational complexity of these reasoning problems and algorithms to solve them. It then explores a variety of reasoning techniques, knowledge-based applications and tools and it describes the relationship between DLs and OWL.

An Introduction to Description Logic

The first introductory textbook on description logics, relevant to computer science, knowledge representation and the semantic web.

Introduction to Description Logic

The 18th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, held in Paris, France in June 2007, featured presentations and discussions centering on some of the latest advances in the field. This volume presents the proceedings from that meeting. Papers cover current research on all aspects of rewriting, including applications, foundational issues, frameworks, implementations, and semantics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning, LPAR 2004, held in Montevideo, Uruguay in March 2005. The 33 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. The papers address all current issues in logic programming, automated reasoning, and AI logics in particular description logics, fuzzy logic, linear logic, multi-modal logic, proof theory, formal verification, protocol verification, constraint logic programming, programming calculi, theorem proving, etc.

This volume contains the contributions to the Joint German/Austrian Con- rence on Arti?cial Intelligence, KI 2001, which comprises the 24th German and the 9th Austrian Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence. They are divided into the following categories: – 2 contributions by invited speakers of the conference; – 29 accepted technical papers, of which 5 where submitted as application papers and 24 as papers on foundations of AI; – 4 contributions by participants of the industrial day, during which companies working in the ?eld presented their AI applications. After a long period of separate meetings, the German and Austrian Societies ̈ for Arti?cial Intelligence, KI and OGAI, decided to hold a joint conference in Vienna in 2001. The two societies had previously held one joint conference. This took place in Ottstein, a small town in Lower Austria, in 1986. At that time, the rise of expert system technology had also renewed interest in AI in general, with quite some expectations for future advances regarding the use of AI techniques in applications pervading many areas of our daily life. Since then ?fteen years have passed, and we may want to comment, at the beginning of a newcentury, on the progress that has been made in this direction.

KI 2001: Advances in Artificial Intelligence

Austrian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (9: 2003 : Wien)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint German/Austrian Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2001, held in Vienna, Austria in September 2001. The 29 revised full technical papers presented together with one invited paper and four posters of industrial papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. All current aspects in AI are addressed, ranging from theoretical and foundational issues to industrial applications.

The refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Automated Deduction, CADE 2003, held in Miami Beach, FL, USA in July 2003. The 29 revised full papers and 7 system description papers presented together with an invited paper and 3 abstracts of invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. All current aspects of automated deduction are discussed, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to the presentation of new theorem provers and systems.
