WORKSHOP SCOPE
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics, such as
* 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 and nonmonotonic 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; and
* tools that exploit description logic reasoning, such as ontology editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data integration tools.
