Over the past several decades, the study of conjunctive queries has occupied a central place in the theory and practice of database systems. In recent years, conjunctive queries h...
In data exchange, data are materialised from a source schema to a target schema, according to suitable source-to-target constraints. Constraints are also expressed on the target sc...
—Mobile robots that interact with humans in an intuitive way must be able to follow directions provided by humans in unconstrained natural language. In this work we investigate h...
We consider the problem of data sharing between autonomous data sources in an environment where constraints cannot be placed on the shared contents of sources. Our solutions rely ...
A schema mapping is a specification that describes how data structured under one schema (the source schema) is to be transformed into data structured under a different schema (the...
