Reachability queries on large directed graphs have attracted much attention recently. The existing work either uses spanning structures, such as chains or trees, to compress the c...
Abstract. In this paper we extend one of the main tools used in veri cation of discrete systems, namely Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD), to treat probabilistic transition systems. W...
We consider the transition graphs of regular ground tree (or term) rewriting systems. The vertex set of such a graph is a (possibly infinite) set of trees. Thus, with a finite tree...
We give two sufficient conditions on XPath like languages for having first order expressivity, meaning that every first order definable set of paths in an ordered node-labeled t...
Recursion represents an important addition to the SQL language. This work focuses on the optimization of linear requeries in SQL. To provide an abstract framework for discussion, ...
