Scope

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics. Possible subjects include:

• Foundations of description logics, including expressive power, decidability and complexity of reasoning, novel inference problems, and reasoning techniques for solving these problems.
• Extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to, closed world reasoning, defaults, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and query languages.
• Integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as object-oriented representation languages, database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based systems.
• Use of description logics in applications or areas such as ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, semi-structured data, document management, natural language, learning, planning, semantic web, and grid computing.
• Building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis on optimization and implementation techniques.
• Tools that exploit description Logic reasoning, such as ontology editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data integration tools.
