Redundancy and minimization of queries are investigated in a well known fragment of XPath that includes child and descendant edges, branches, wildcards, and multiple output nodes....
We propose a new grouping operator for logic programs based on the group_by operator of SQL. The novelty of our proposal lies in the use of modes, which allows us to relax some rat...
We are interested in automatically proving safety properties of infinite state systems. We present a technique for invariant synthesis which can be incorporated in backward reacha...
—Defining the support (or frequency) of a subgraph is trivial when a database of graphs is given: it is simply the number of graphs in the database that contain the subgraph. Ho...
In this paper, we extend Defeasible Logic (a computationally-oriented non-monotonic logic) in order to deal with temporalised rules. In particular, we extend the logic to cope with...
