Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...
We explore the power of relational semantics and equational reasoning in the style of Kleene algebra for analyzing programs with mutable, statically scoped local variables. We prov...
In this paper we consider general path constraints for semistructured databases. Our general constraints do not suffer from the limitations of the path constraints previously stud...
We present different techniques for reducing the number of states and transitions in nondeterministic automata. These techniques are based on the two preorders over the set of st...
In morphologically rich languages such as Arabic, the abundance of word forms resulting from increased morpheme combinations is significantly greater than for languages with fewer...
