Maintaining integrity, consistency, and enforcing conformance in architectures of large-scale systems requires specification and enforcement of many different forms of structural...
We develop a theory for learning scenarios where multiple learners co-exist but there are mutual compatibility constraints on their outcomes. This is natural in cognitive learning...
We study functional and multivalued dependencies over SQL tables with NOT NULL constraints. Under a no-information interpretation of null values we develop tools for reasoning. We...
