We study visibly pushdown automata (VPA) models for expressing and evaluating queries, expressed using MSO formulas, on words with a nesting structure (like XML documents). We deļ...
Abstract. Nested words are a restriction of the class of visibly pushdown languages that provide a natural model of runs of programs with recursive procedure calls. The usual conne...
Abstract. We identify a network of sequential processes that communicate by synchronizing frequently on common actions. More precisely, we demand that there is a bound k such that ...
Parallelism constraints are logical descriptions of trees. Parallelism constraints subsume dominance constraints and are equal in expressive power to context unification. Paralleli...
Abstract. This paper develops the model theory of ordered structures that satisfy Keisler's regularity scheme, and its strengthening REF(L) (the reflection scheme) which is an...
