An often-mentioned advantage of rule-based programming languages is that a program can be extended simply by adding a few more rules. In practice however, the rules tend to be dep...
Fast C implementations of four geometric predicates, the 2D and 3D orientation and incircle tests, are publicly available. Their inputs are ordinary single or double precision flo...
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...
