Ordinary logical implication is not enough for answering queries in a logic database, since especially negative information is only implicitly represented in the database state. M...
We study probabilistic complexity classes and questions of derandomisation from a logical point of view. For each logic L we introduce a new logic BPL, bounded error probabilistic ...
Traditionally, the classes in thematic maps have been treated as crisp sets, using classical set theory. In this formulation, map classes are assumed to be mutually exclusive and e...
In this paper, the interest of fuzzy sets and possibility theory in the context of databases is presented. It is shown that these " notions provide an homogeneous framework f...
Queries involving aggregation are typical in a number of database research areas, such as data warehousing, global information systems and mobile computing. One of the main ideas ...
