Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
We investigate the problem of matching buyers and sellers in a multi-item multi-unit combinatorial exchange so as to maximize either the surplus (revenue minus cost) or the tradin...
This paper addresses the question of producing modular sequential imperative code from synchronous data-flow networks. Precisely, given a system with several input and output flow...
Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual...
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...
