First-order probabilistic models are recognized as efficient frameworks to represent several realworld problems: they combine the expressive power of first-order logic, which serv...
The problem of integrating information from con icting sources comes up in many current applications, such as cooperative information systems, heterogeneous databases, and multi-a...
Complex software systems typically involve features like time, concurrency and probability, where probabilistic computations play an increasing role. It is challenging to formaliz...

The paper represents current achievements of an ongoing research that aims to develop a formal approach supporting an automatic selection of a Web service sought by a requestor. Th...
We present a formalism for provenance in distributed systems based on the -calculus. Its main feature is that all data products are annotated with metadata representing their prov...
