Previous work reports about SXSI, a fast XPath engine which executes tree automata over compressed XML indexes. Here, reasons are investigated why SXSI is so fast. It is shown tha...
We define a new model of automata for the description of bidirectional parsing strategies for tree adjoining grammars and a tabulation mechanism that allow them to be executed in ...
Abstract. We study entailment of structural and nonstructural recursive subtyping constraints. Constraints are formal inequalities between type expressions, interpreted over an ord...
Using finite-state automata for the text analysis component in a text-to-speech system is problematic in several respects: the rewrite rules from which the automata are compiled a...
Abstract. We extend the automata-theoretic framework for reasoning about infinitestate sequential systems to handle also the global model-checking problem. Our framework is based o...
