Abstract

I will present a novel method for fixed parameter tractable reasoning in the description logic ALCI, which is inspired by the work on parameterizing propositional SAT by treewidth. I will first motivate the talk by showing how to use resolution to obtain a fixed parameter tractable algorithm for propositional  clause-sets of bounded treewidth, and then generalize the method to support existential and universal quantifiers.
