We develop an imperative calculus of objects that is both tiny and expressive. Our calculus provides a minimal setting in which to study the operational semantics and the typing r...
We explore the implications of supporting bags (i.e. multisets) in a data model and associated query language, and present some formal results concerned with the algebraic propert...
Visibly Pushdown Languages (VPLs), recognized by Visibly Pushdown Automata (VPAs), are a nicely behaved family of contextfree languages. It has been shown that VPAs are equivalent ...
This paper gives an overview of Demaq, an XML message processing system operating on the foundation of transactional XML message queues. We focus on the syntax and semantics of it...
