Keyword search is recognized as an important technique to unlocking the information found in both structured and semistructured information. With XML as the data model and XQuery ...
We present a method for trust scenarios with more than one trustee, where sets of trustees are ordered in a relation of relative trustworthiness. We show how a priority structure i...
We study the complexity of the reachability problem for a new subclass of Petri nets called simple-circuit Petri nets, which properly contains several well known subclasses such as...
This paper proposes a method for dealing with numerical attributes in inductive concept learning systems based on genetic algorithms. The method uses constraints for restricting th...
Two different ways of defining ad-hoc polymorphic operations commonly occur in programming languages. With the first form polymorphic operations are defined inductively on the...
