Abstract: Terminological reasoning is a mode of reasoning all hybrid knowledge representation systems based on KL-ONE rely on. After a short introduction of what terminological reasoning amounts to, it is proven that a complete inference algorithm for the BACK system would be computationally intractable. Interestingly, this result also applies to the KANDOR system, which had been conjectured to realize complete terminological inferences with a tractable algorithm. More generally, together with an earlier ... (Update)

.... in order to ensure decidability and or efficiency of reasoning in all cases, one must renounce some of the expressive power [76, 81, 83, 82, 47, 48, 49]. These results have led to a debate on the trade off between expressive power of representation formalisms and worst case...
