We discuss a declarative characterization of inheritance in logic programming. Our approach is inspired both by existing literature on denotational models for inheritance and by e...
Abstract. While some recent frameworks on cognitive agents addressed the combination of mental attitudes with deontic concepts, they commonly ignore the representation of time. An ...
We analyze several classes of path constraints for semistructured data in a unified framework and prove some decidability and complexity results for these constraints by embedding...
Proof search has been used to specify a wide range of computation systems. In order to build a framework for reasoning about such specifications, we make use of a sequent calculus...
In this paper we present MD, a logical model for OLAP systems, and show how it can be used in the design of multidimensional databases. Unlike other models for multidimensional dat...
