Abstract. Formal methods based on the mathematical theory of partially ordered sets (i.e., posets) have been used in the database field for the modelling of spatial data since many...
Abstract. Narrowing is a method for solving equations in the equational theories of term rewriting systems. Unification and rewriting, the central operations in narrowing, are ofte...
