Top-context-free tree languages (called cor gulier by Arnold and Dauchet 1, 2]) constitute a natural subclass of context-free tree languages. In this paper, we give further evidenc...
We apply language theory to compare the expressive power of models that extend Petri nets with features like colored tokens and/or whole place operations. Specifically, we conside...
Schema mapping composition is a fundamental operation in schema management and data exchange. The mapping composition problem has been extensively studied for a number of mapping ...
Nondeterministic weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions. They define quantitative languages L that assign to each word w a real number L(w). ...
