Seminar: Extensions of Description Logics

Description logics (DLs) are a family of logic-based knowledge representation formalisms. The seminar is about extensions of description logics (such as temporalised DLs, fuzzy DLs, DLs with defaults, …) that have not been captured in the lecture Description Logic.

Prerequisites: Knowing the basic material of the lecture Description Logic would be helpful.

There is an initial meeting on 17 October 2016 at 14:50 in room APB/3027. There, topics are assigned to interested students and further organisational matters are covered.

The students taking the seminar should get acquainted with their respective topic, write a report (c. 15 pages) about it, and give a presentation (of 30 minutes) at the end of the semester. They receive indiviual supervision by a tutor.
The topics have so far been assigned as follows:

Student	Topic	Supervisor
K. Salama	Piero A. Bonatti, Marco Faella, Iliana M. Petrova, Luigi Sauro: A new semantics for overriding in description logics	Anni-Yasmin Turhan

The students are expected to stick to the following schedule.

• 2rd week of October: mandatory meeting with the tutor
• 21 December: first complete version of the report due
• 16 Janurary: first complete version of the presentation slides due
• 30th January: give the presentation and participate in the discussion
