Abstract. More than being just a tool for expressing algorithms, a welldesigned programming language allows the user to express her ideas efficiently. The design choices however e...
Abstract. Pruning operators, such as cut, are important to develop efficient logic programs as they allow programmers to reduce the search space and thus discard unnecessary compu...
Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...

Abstract. We are presenting a coherent framework for XQuery processing that incorporates IR-style approximate matching and allows the ordering of results by their relevance score. ...
We define a generic join point model for checking the Law of Demeter (LoD). Join points are trees, pointcuts are predicates over join points, and advice is checked statically sim...
