abstract	Description logics are used to solve a wide variety of problems with configuration applications being some of the largest and longest-lived. 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.
