Comparing the expressive power of access control models is recognized as a fundamental problem in computer security. Such comparisons are generally based on simulations between di...
In this paper we deal with the problem of providing natural language front-ends to databases upon which an ontology layer has been added. Specifically, we are interested in expres...

Abstract. We present a probability logic (essentially a first order language extended with quantifiers that count the fraction of elements in a model that satisfy a first order ...
By providing an integrated and optimized support for user-defined aggregates (UDAs), data stream management systems (DSMS) can achieve superior power and generality while preservi...
This work proposes and evaluates improvements to previously known algorithms for redundancy elimination. Enhanced Scalar Replacement combines two classic techniques, scalar replac...
