Dominance constraints are logical descriptions of trees that are widely used in computational linguistics. Their general satisfiability problem is known to be NP-complete. Here we...
We present results related to satisfying shortest path queries on a planar graph stored in external memory. Let N denote the number of vertices in the graph and let sort(N) denote...
Keyword search is a proven, user-friendly way to query HTML documents in the World Wide Web. We propose keyword search in XML documents, modeled as labeled trees, and describe cor...
ADtrees, a data structure useful for caching sufficient statistics, have been successfully adapted to grow lazily when memory is limited and to update sequentially with an increme...

There are two main paradigms for querying semi structured data: regular path queries and XPath. The aim of this paper is to provide a synthesis between these two. This synthesis i...
