Re: Introductions

Hi,

I am a Professor in the School of Computer Science in the University  
of Manchester, and have been working on Description Logics since  
1994.  I am interested in Description (and related) Logics, the  
corresponding inference problems, their complexity, and decision  
procedures for these problems. Together with Ian, I have worked on  
the S-familiy of DLs (such as SHIF, SHOIN, or SROIQ).

You can find more information, incl. contact details, on my homepage  
(http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~sattler/).

I hope that this working group will recommend a nice, well-understood  
and good-to-use  Ontology Language.

I think I can contribute my insights into the effects of language  
constructors on the complexity/practicability of reasoning problems  
such as classification and query answering, and my cheerful disposition.

I plan to attend the first F2F and am looking forward to seeing you  
all in fab Manchester.

Cheers, Uli
