Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 1847))

Abstract

This paper presents the results of applying RACE, a description logic system for \(\mathcal{ALCNH}_{R^{+}}\), to modal logic SAT problems. Some aspects of the RACE architecture are discussed in detail: (i) techniques involving caching and (ii) techniques for dealing with individuals.
