We consider spatial databases and queries definable using first-order logic and real polynomial inequalities. We are interested in topological queries: queries whose result only ...
: There has been an abundance of research within the last couple of decades in the area of multilevel secure (MLS) databases. Recent work in this field deals with the processing of...
Abstract. We consider the problem of specifying and computing consistent answers to queries against databases that do not satisfy given integrity constraints. This is done by simul...

Forthcoming in the Journal of Aritificial Intelligence We introduce mathematical programming and atomic decomposition as the basic modal (T-Box) inference techniques for a large c...
As the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is about to emerge as a new standard for databases, the problem of providing solid logical grounds for XML query languages arises. For the ...
