Dynamic detection and elimination of symmetry in constraints, is in general a hard task, but in Not-Equals binary constraint networks, the symmetry conditions can be simplified. I...
We propose a unified framework in which to treat semantic underspecification and parallelism phenomena in discourse. The framework employs a constraint language that can express e...
In this work we investigate the satisfiability problem for the logic XPath( , , =), that includes all downward axes as well as equality and inequality tests. We address this probl...
We give an AC0 upper bound on the complexity of rst-oder queries over (in nite) databases de ned by restricted linear constraints. This result enables us to deduce the non-expressi...
Abstract. In informal mathematical usage we often reason using languages with binding. We usually find ourselves placing capture-avoidance constraints on where variables can and c...
