In this paper we propose a non-monotonic extension of the Description Logic ALC for reasoning about prototypical properties and inheritance with exceptions. The resulting logic, called ALC+T"m"i"n, is built upon a previously introduced (monotonic) logic ALC+T that is obtained by adding a typicality operator T to ALC. The operator T is intended to select the ''most normal'' or ''most typical'' instances of a concept, so that knowledge bases may contain subsumption relations of the form T(C)@?D (''T(C) is subsumed by D''), expressing that typical C-members are instances of concept D. From a knowledge representation point of view, the monotonic logic ALC+T is too weak to perform inheritance reasoning. In ALC+T"m"i"n, in order to perform non-monotonic inferences, we define a ''minimal model'' semantics over ALC+T. The intuition is that preferred or minimal models are those that maximize typical instances of concepts. By means of ALC+T"m"i"n we are able to infer defeasible properties of (explicit or implicit) individuals. We also present a tableau calculus for deciding ALC+T"m"i"n entailment that allows to give a complexity upper bound for the logic, namely that query entailment is in co-NExp^N^P.
