Although it is acknowledged that multi-way dataflow constraints are useful in interactive applications, concerns about their tractability have hindered their acceptance. Certain l...
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
We present a technique for refining the design of relational storage for XML data based on XML key propagation. Three algorithms are presented: one checks whether a given function...

Lotos is the ISO formal specification language for describing and verifying concurrent and distributed systems. The simulation or execution of complex Lotos specifications is, h...
Research on constraint propagation has primarily focused on designing polynomial-time propagators sometimes at the cost of a weaker filtering. Interestingly, the evolution of cons...
