In order to derive hidden Information (concept subsumption, concept satisfiability and realization) of OWL ontologies, a number of OWL reasoners have been introduced. Most of the reasoners were implemented to be based on tableau algorithm. However this approach has certain limitation. This paper presents architecture for Medusa. The Medusa is an extended DL-reasoner for SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language) reasoning under well-founded semantics with ontologies specified in Description Logic. Description logic based ontology reasoners theoretically explore knowledge representation and its reasoning in concept languages. However these logics are not equipped with rule-based reasoning mechanisms for assertional knowledge base; specifically, rule and facts in logic programming, or interaction of rules and facts with terminology. In order to deal with the enriched reasoning, The Medusa provides combining DL-knowledge base and rule based reasoner. The described prototype uses $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ API[1] for controlling communication with the ontology reasoner.

Recently personal media were produced in a variety of ways as a lot of smart devices have been spread and services using these data have been desired. Therefore, research has been actively conducted for the media analysis and recognition technology and we can recognize the meaningful object from the media. The system using the media ontology has the disadvantage that can't classify the media appearing in the video because of the use of a video title, tags, and script information. In this paper, we propose a system to automatically classify video using the objects shown in the media data. To do this, we use a description logic-based reasoning and a rule-based inference for event processing which may vary in order. Description logic-based reasoning system proposed in this paper represents the relation of the objects in the media as activity ontology. We describe how to another rule-based reasoning system defines an event according to the order of the inference activity and order based reasoning system automatically classify the appropriate event to the category. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approach, we conducted an experiment using the media data classified as a valid category by the analysis of the Youtube video.

In this article we address some system characteristics and challenging issues in developing Context-aware Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing. The functionalities of a Context-aware Middleware includes gathering context data from hardware/software sensors, reasoning and inferring high-level context data, and disseminating/delivering appropriate context data to interested applications/services. The Middleware should facilitate the query, aggregation, and discovery for the contexts, as well as facilities to specify their privacy policy. Following a formal context model using ontology would enable syntactic and semantic interoperability, and knowledge sharing between different domains. Moddleware should also provide different kinds of context classification mechanical as pluggable modules, including rules written in different types of logic (first order logic, description logic, temporal/spatial logic, fuzzy logic, etc.) as well as machine-learning mechanical (supervised and unsupervised classifiers). Different mechanisms have different power, expressiveness and decidability properties, and system developers can choose the appropriate mechanism that best meets the reasoning requirements of each context. And finally, to promote the context-trigger actions in application level, it is important to provide a uniform and platform-independent interface for applications to express their need for different context data without knowing how that data is acquired. The action could involve adapting to the new environment, notifying the user, communicating with another device to exchange information, or performing any other task.

상황 정보 관리 시스템은 외부에서 입력된 상황 정보의 숨겨진 의미를 파악하여 상황인지 에이전트 및 상황인지 브로커가 효과적으로 상황정보를 획득하도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 외부 환경으로부터 받은 상황정보의 숨겨진 의미를 파악하기 위해 DL 추론과 시간적 추론을 적용한 상황 정보 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해서 3가지 부분에 초점을 두었다. 첫 번째, 외부에서 입력된 상황 정보를 효율적으로 표현하고 여러 에이전트간의 상황 정보 공유가 가능하도록 온톨로지 모델을 적용한다. 온톨로지로 표현된 상황정보는 정보의 속성을 제약함으로써 숨겨진 상황 정보를 추론할 수 있도록 해준다. 두 번째로 상황 정보의 관계를 추론할 수 있도록 서술 논리(Description Logic)를 적용한다. 마지막으로 상황 정보의 시간적 관계를 추론할 수 있도록 시간 논리(Temporal Logic)을 적용한다. 따라서 본 논문에서의 최종 목표는 상황 정보 관리 시스템 연구를 통해 상황인지 에이전트 및 상황인지 브로커에 활용이 가능한 온톨로지 기반 추론 기능을 보유하는 지능형 모듈의 기본 프레임워크를 구축하는 것이다.

We have designed a multiple-valued fuzzy Approximate Analogical-Reseaning system (AARS). The system uses a similarity measure of fuzzy sets and a threshold of similarity ST to determine whether a rule should be fired, with a Modification Function inferred from the Similarity Measure to deduce a consequent. Multiple-valued basic fuzzy blocks are used to construct the system. A description of the system is presented to illustrate the operation of the schema. The results of simulations show that the system can perform about 3.5 x 106 inferences per second. Finally, we compare the system with Yamakawa's chip which is based on the Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) with Mamdani's implication.

In this paper we investigate a trend analysis service using Semantic Web technology in a news domain. The trend analysis service can provide more intelligent answers rather than the answer given In current news search engines since it can analyze the passage of time and the relation among news. In order to provide the trend analysis service, the capability of temporal reasoning is required, but the Semantic Web language such as OWL does not support the reasoning capability. Therefore, we propose a language TL-OWL(Temporal Web Ontology Language) extending OWL with the temporal reasoning.

OWL 온톨로지의 확장 가능한(scalable) 추론(reasoning)에 대한 접근 방법으로 SQL로 구축된 논리 규칙을 관계형 데이터베이스에 저장되어있는 개체(individual)에 대한 사실(facts)과 공리(axioms)들에 적용하는 것이다. 예로서 미네르바(Minerva)는 서술 논리 프로그램(Description Logic Program, DLP)을 적용함으로써 ABox 추론을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 관계형 데이터베이스를 기반으로 추론을 시도하며, 대규모 논리 규칙 집합을 사용한 추론을 시도한다. 뿐만 아니라, 특정 클래스에 속한 익명(anonymous)의 개체들과 개체들의 묵시적(implicit)인 관계성 추론을 시도하며, 필요한 경우 새로운 개체를 생성함으로써 명시화하여 추론을 시도한다. 더욱이, 추론의 논리 패러다임(paradigm)에서부터 데이터베이스 패러다임에 이르기까지 변화 시켜가면서 카디널리티(cardinality) 제약을 만족하는 개체들에 대한 제약적인 추정 추론을 시도하며, 벤치마크 테스트 결과 향상된 추론 능력을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

Non-monotonic logic is one in which the introduction of new axioms can eliminate old theorems. Such logic is very important in modeling the beliefs of the systems which, in the presence of complete information, must make and subsequently revise assumptions in light of new observations. In the present paper, we suggest that the formal systems, such as Reiter's default logic could be the useful implement for the specification and description of non-monotonic systems. WE develop a theory of inheritance network in order to illustrate the benefits of this theory.

Most existing deductive engines study for optimization of TBox based on Tableaux algorithm. However, in order to deduce mass-storing ABox in reality, it can't be decided in finite time. Therefore, for the efficiency of the deductive engine, there needs to be reasoning technique optimized for ABox. This paper uses the method that changes OWL-DL based Ontology to the form of Rule like Datalog in order to interlock store device such as RDBMS. Ultimately, it tries to in circumstance of real world. Therefor, using Axiom that OWL holds, it suggests reasoning method that applies rules including datatype.

Recently, with the advent of the Big Data era, we have gained the capability of acquiring vast amounts of knowledge from various fields. The collected knowledge is expressed by well-formed formula and in particular, OWL, a standard language of ontology, is a typical form of well-formed formula. The symbolic reasoning is actively being studied using large amounts of ontology data for extracting intrinsic information. However, most studies of this reasoning support the restricted rule expression based on Description Logic and they have limited applicability to the real world. Moreover, knowledge management for inaccurate information is required, since knowledge inferred from the wrong information will also generate more incorrect information based on the dependencies between the inference rules. Therefore, this paper suggests that the SWAT, knowledge management system should be combined with the SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) reasoning based on ATMS (Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System). Moreover, this system was constructed by combining with SWRL reasoning and ATMS for managing large ontology data based on the distributed In-memory framework. Based on this, the ATMS monitoring system allows users to easily detect and correct wrong knowledge. We used the LUBM (Lehigh University Benchmark) dataset for evaluating the suggested method which is managing the knowledge through the retraction of the wrong SWRL inference data on large data.
