We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
We consider the monadic boundedness problem for least fixed points over FO formulae as a decision problem: Given a formula ϕ(X, x), positive in X, decide whether there is a unif...
This paper deals with test case selection from axiomatic specifications whose axioms are quantifier-free first-order formulae. Test cases are modeled as ground formulae and any spe...
We introduce First Order ProbLog, an extension of first order logic with soft constraints where formulas are guarded by probabilistic facts. The paper defines a semantics for FOPro...

Nested words are a structured model of execution paths in procedural programs, reflecting their call and return nesting structure. Finite nested words also capture the structure ...
