We apply the symbolic analysis principle to pushdown systems. We represent (possibly in nite) sets of con gurations of such systems by means of nite-state automata. In order to re...
The extended answer set semantics for logic programs allows for the defeat of rules to resolve contradictions. We propose a refinement of these semantics based on a preference rel...

We consider multi-pushdown automata, a multi-stack extension of pushdown automata that comes with a constraint on stack operations: a pop can only be performed on the first non-emp...

In STOC 93, Jones sketched the existence of a hierarchy within problems decidable in linear time by a first-order functional language based on tree-structured data (F), as well a...
Traditionally, data that has both linear and hierarchical structure, such as annotated linguistic data, is modeled using ordered trees and queried using tree automata. In this pap...
