Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...
In this paper, a simulated annealing algorithm is presented for the Bandwidth Minimization Problem for Graphs. This algorithm is based on three distinguished features including an...

Abstract. We propose two algorithms achieving generalized arc consistency for the soft global cardinality constraint with variable-based violation and with value-based violation. T...
We present an efficient algorithm for the redundancy elimination problem: Given an underspecified semantic representation (USR) of a scope ambiguity, compute an USR with fewer mut...
Abstract. Settling a ten years open question, we show that the NPcomplete Feedback Vertex Set problem is deterministically solvable in O(ck ·m) time, where m denotes the number of...
