ABSTRACT = {We describe two methods on the basis of which efficient 
resolution decision procedures can be developed for a range of 
description logics. 
The first method uses an ordering restriction and applies to the 
description logic ALB, which extends ALC with the top role, 
full role negation, role intersection, role disjunction, 
role converse, domain restriction, range restriction, and role hierarchies. 
The second method is based solely on a selection restriction and
applies to reducts of ALB without the top role and role negation. 
The latter method can be viewed as a polynomial simulation 
of familiar tableaux-based decision procedures. 
It can also be employed for automated model generation.
