Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
Game semantics describe the interactive behavior of proofs by interpreting formulas as games on which proofs induce strategies. Such a semantics is introduced here for capturing d...
— XQuery, the defacto XML query language, is a functional language with operational semantics, which precludes the direct application of classical query optimization techniques. ...
Thanks to recent advances, modern proof assistants now enable verification of realistic sequential programs. However, regarding the concurrency paradigm, previous work essentially...
Retrieving relevant information in Data and Knowledge Bases containing a large number of di erent types of information is a non trivial problem. That is the reason why, in areas l...
