There is concrete, commercial evidence that shows that description logic-based configurators have been successfully fielded for over a decade. Additionally, it appears that configuration applications have a number of characteristics that make them well-suited to description logic-based solutions. This chapter will introduce the problem of configuration, describe some requirements of configuration applications that make them candidates for description logic-based solutions, show examples of these requirements in a configuration example, and introduce the largest and longest lived family of description logic-based configurators. incollection The Description Logic Handbook: Theory, Implementation, and Applications mcguinness2003description 388-405 Description Logic for Configuration KSL-02-09 2003 Year Tr id Title Computer science Tag Cambridge University Press Publisher Media:KSL-02-09.pdf Paper Pages Key Peter F.
