Abstract. While there has been a great deal of work on the development of reasoning algorithms for expressive description logics, in most cases only Tbox reasoning is considered. I...
We present a typed polymorphic calculus that supports a general mechanism for view definition and object sharing among classes. In this calculus, a class can contain inclusion spe...
We present a propagator that achieves MDD consistency for a separable equality over an MDD (multivalued decision diagram) store in pseudo-polynomial time. We integrate the propagat...
Background: In DNA microarray experiments, discovering groups of genes that share similar transcriptional characteristics is instrumental in functional annotation, tissue classifi...
Distributed cooperative engineering applications require consistent and long-term sharing of large volumes of data, which may cause conflicts due to concurrent read/write operatio...
