The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is able to model a wide variety of distributed reasoning tasks that arise in multiagent systems. Unfortunately, existing met...

The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
We study a model of graph related formulae that we call the Constraint-Graph model. A constraintgraph is a labeled multi-graph (a graph where loops and parallel edges are allowed)...

Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
