Abstract. Predicative analysis of recursion schema is a method to characterize complexity classes like the class of polynomial time functions. This analysis comes from the works of...
Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
Environments in which Web service compositions (WSC) operate are often dynamic. We address the problem of which service to query for up-to-date information in order to adapt a hie...
In this paper, we define a simple but scalable framework for peer-to-peer data sharing systems, in which the problem of answering queries over a network of semantically related p...
Abstract. Extension of the relational database model to represent complex data has been a focus of much research in recent years. At the same time, an alternative extension of the ...
