We propose a predefined set of basic components for designing and implementing constraint solver cooperations and solver cooperation languages. Combining these components into pa...
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...
Abstract. Access control for semi-structured data is nontrivial, as witnessed by the number of access control approaches in recent literature. Recently a case has been made for exp...
The normal method for representing anaphoric dependencies in Unification Based grammar tbrmalisms is that of re-entrance. In this paper, we address the problems that this represen...
The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...
