Abstract

We study the description language \(\mathcal {ALCS}5_m\), a variant of \(\mathcal {ALCK}_m\) and \(\mathcal {ALCS}4_m\). It augments \(\mathcal {ALC}\) by allowing multi-modal epistemic operators over concept and role expressions. The epistemic operators are interpreted in modal logic \(\mathbf {S}5_m\). By examining design issues of the tableau algorithm specific for \(\mathcal {ALCS}5_m\), different from those for \(\mathcal {ALCK}_m\) and \(\mathcal {ALCS}4_m\), we provide a sound and complete tableau algorithm for deciding the satisfiability of an \(\mathcal {ALCS}5_m\) knowledge base with an acyclic TBox, and further show how it can be implemented in PSpace.
