Abstract. We show how to specify and use the metadata for a virtual and relational data integration system under the local-as-view (LAV) approach. We use XML and RuleML for represe...
We introduce novel, sound, complete, and locally optimal evaluation strategies for functional logic programming languages. Our strategies combine, in a non-trivial way, two landma...
As applications of description logics proliferate, efficient reasoning with knowledge bases containing many assertions becomes ever more important. For such cases, we developed a n...
It has recently been shown, for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), that the state associated with a node of the search tree built by a backtracking algorithm can be exploit...
Abstract. Constrained argumentation frameworks (CAF) generalize Dung's frameworks by allowing additional constraints on arguments to be taken into account in the definition of...
