Abstract

This paper investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed up TBox and ABox reasoning for the description logics ALCNHR + and ALC(D). The advances are demonstrated by an empirical analysis using the description logic system RACE that implmenets TBox and ABox reasoning for ALCNHR +.
