Abstract: This report describes and evaluates optimisation techniques for a tableaux based satisfiability testing algorithm used to compute subsumption in Grail, an expressive description logic. Five techniques are studied in detail: normalisation and encoding, indexing, semantic branching, dependency directed backtracking and caching. The effectiveness of these techniques is evaluated by empirical testing using a large knowledge base from the Galen project. The performance of the optimised classifier... (Update)
