We present an empirical analysis of optimization techniques devised to speed up the so-called TBox classification supported by description logic systems which have to deal with ve...
One of the arguments for choosing description logics as the basis for the Web Ontology Language is the ability to support the development of complex ontologies through logical reas...
We describe the design and implementation of a trust-management system Soutei, a dialect of Binder, for access control in distributed systems. Soutei policies and credentials are w...
