A query against a database behind a site like Napster may search, e.g., for all users who have downloaded more jazz titles than pop music titles. In order to express such queries,...
In this paper we consider languages of labelled N-free posets over countable and scattered linear orderings. We prove that a language of such posets is series-rational if and only ...
We define tree automata with global constraints (TAGC), generalizing the well-known class of tree automata with global equality and disequality constraints [14] (TAGED). TAGC can...
Data structures often use an integer variable to keep track of the number of elements they store. An invariant of such data structure is that the value of the integer variable is ...
Abstract. We provide a framework for distributed systems that impose timing constraints on their executions. We propose a timed model of communicating finite-state machines, which...
